Ingredients

• 1/2 c. Canola Oil, 1/2 c. butter
• 1 c. Flour
• 2 large onions, diced
• 1 large pack of chicken thighs, cut
• 2 Tbsp. Creole Spices (I used my dad’s, but Tony’s will do)
• 2 lbs. spicy smoked sausage, chopped (I used deer sausage this time, but any smoked will do)
• 2 stalks celery, diced
• 2 green peppers, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 sprigs fresh thyme
• 3 quarts chicken stock
• 2 bay leaves
• 6 oz. andouille sausage, chopped
• 1 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
• Salt
• Pepper
• Filé Powder
• Tabasco
• 4-6 c. cooked rice (I saute’ onions, add the rice, then cook it in chicken stock with a bay leaf. It makes a world of a difference!)
