Instructions
1
Collect all necessary components for preparation
2
Heat oil in a large cooking vessel over an intermediate temperature; blend the flour into the mixture until it forms a uniform paste, and reaches a rich brown hue reminiscent of chocolate milk, approximately 8 to 10 minutes. Be cautious not to overcook the mixture, as this may result in an unpleasant flavor; if you notice any dark spots, it's best to begin anew.
3
Introduce the sausage, celery, bell pepper, and onion into the mixture; cook and stir for a duration of 5 minutes. Incorporate garlic into the blend, then continue to cook and stir for an additional 5 minutes.
4
Add a pinch of salt, pepper, and Creole seasoning to the mixture; blend well to achieve a harmonious balance. Pour in chicken broth and add a bay leaf to the mixture; bring the contents to a boil over high heat, then reduce the temperature to a low setting and let it simmer, uncovered, for 1 hour, stirring occasionally throughout the process.
5
Introduce the chicken into the mixture and let it simmer for an additional 1 hour. During this time, gently skim off any foam that rises to the surface.
