STEPS

1

Peel back chicken drumstick and breast skin without removing it all the way; make several deep cuts in the meat. Sprinkle 3 teaspoons Cajun seasoning into the cuts and onto the meat, then replace the skin. Whisk 1/2 cup olive oil and white wine together in a large bowl. Add chicken, spoon marinade over top, then cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.

2

Remove chicken from marinade and shake off excess; discard remaining marinade. Heat 1/4 cup olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add chicken, working in batches if necessary, and cook until browned, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to a large soup pot and pour broth over top. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until chicken is tender, about 20 minutes.

3

While the chicken is simmering, cook onion, bell pepper, and celery in a skillet with 3 tablespoons of olive oil, stirring occasionally, until onion is transparent and pepper has softened, about 8 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.

4

Mix flour and canola oil together in a nonstick pan to make a roux; stir until smooth and lump-free. Heat over medium-high heat, stirring constantly. After about 5 minutes, roux will start turning pale golden. Stir until the color becomes like milk chocolate, about 30-40 minutes. Remove from heat and stir until roux cools and stops cooking, about 5 more minutes.

5

Stir onion mixture and 1 cup boiling water into roux; heat over medium heat until it comes to a simmer. Whisk until thick, about 10 minutes. Add thickened roux to the chicken, stir together, and add remaining 9 cups boiling water. Season with Cajun seasoning and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 1 hour.

6

Sprinkle garlic powder and cayenne pepper over sausage. Brown sausage in a skillet with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Transfer sausage to the soup and simmer for 30 minutes. Remove chicken from the pot and take meat off bones; discard skin and bones. Return meat to the soup and simmer for 15 minutes. Skim off the layer of oil that forms on the top.

7

While gumbo is simmering, bring rice and 3 cups water to boil in a saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer until liquid is absorbed, about 20-25 minutes.

8

Serve gumbo over hot, cooked rice with a sprinkling of chopped green onions on top.
