Step 1

Season the chicken with the Creole seasoning and one teaspoon of salt set aside and let come to room temperature

Step 2

In a large dutch oven over medium heat, warm two tablespoons of vegetable oil. Working in batches so as not to crowd the pan, and the chicken to the pot. Sear for 4 to 5 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown all over. Transfer the cooked chicken to a plate

Step 3

Adjust the heat under the pot to medium- low. Add the remaining vegetable oil to the Dutch oven and let warm for several minutes

Step 4

Whisk in the flower until thoroughly combined to form a roux. Cook the roof for 25 to 30 minutes whisking frequently, until dark brown. It is very important that you do not let the roux burn or stick to the bottom of the pot; it will ruin the gumbo's flavor

Step 5

While the roux cooks, in a food processor, combine the onion, red bell peppers, celery and garlic. Pulse until very finely minced.

Step 6

When the roux is dark brown, add the vegetable mixture and stir to combine. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes until the vegetables are soft and the mixtures very thick. Stir in the chicken stock. Raise the heat to high to bring the mixture to a boil. Adjust the heat to maintain a simmer and scrape up any browned bits stuck to the bottom of the pot

Step 7

Stir in the remaining 1 tsp of salt, the sausage, bay leaves, and cooked chicken. Cover the pot and simmer the gumbo for 1 hour. Skim off any foam that rises to the surface.

Step 8

Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and use two forks to shred it. Return the shredded chicken to the pot along with the parsley, scallions, and hot sauce. simmer, uncovered, for 15 minutes. Taste and season with salt, as needed. Remove and discard the bay leaves
