Steps:
- Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken; cook until browned, about 2 minutes per side. Add tomatoes, chicken broth, garlic, salt, and cayenne. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer for 8 minutes. Add okra, cover, and simmer for 3 minutes more.
- Combine water and flour in a small bowl and add to the skillet. Simmer, uncovered, until thick and chicken is no longer pink in the centers, about 2 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Stir in hot sauce. Serve over rice.

Steps:
- Heat the oil in a large heavy pan and add the flour.
- Cook over a low heat, stirring, to make a dark brown roux (the color of hazelnut shells).
- Add the onion, garlic, green pepper and celery and cook until lightly browned, stirring occasionally.
- Add the okra, parsley, bay leaf, thyme, salt, peppers, and cayenne and tabasco to taste, then stir in the tomatoes, tomato puree, and half the stock or water.
- Bring to a boil, stirring well.
- Simmer for 1-1/2 hours, stirring occasionally.
- During this time, the okra, which is initially slimy, will turn the mixture very dark and glutinous.
- Meanwhile, remove the chicken meat from the carcass.
- Discard all skin and cut the meat into bite-sized pieces.
- Add the chicken meat and corn to the gumbo with the remaining stock or water and simmer for 30 minutes longer, stirring from time to time.

TRADITIONAL CHICKEN GUMBO WITH OKRA
I developed this recipe specifically with my childrens' palates in mind. As a child of a Louisiana native, I grew up with gumbo. We enjoyed so many varieties, but I remember as a child that sometimes they were "too hot", or there were "too many" ingredients in them for a child's palate. Andouille, shrimp, chicken and oysters in one soup may be OK for the adults, but it was simply too much for me and many of my cousins. This recipe serves as a good "base" for almost any gumbo. It is flavorful without a lot of heat, and can be adjusted in many ways.

Steps:
- Prior to heating pot, chop all vegetables.
- To make the roux: Heat a large heavy bottomed stock pot over a medium high flame.
- Once hot, add the oil. Stir in the flour, reduce heat to medium. Cook, stirring constantly until the color of the flour/oil mixture is somewhere between the color of coffee with cream and black coffee. Do not allow this to scorch or burn- if this happens start process over.
- Once the roux is cooked to a deep color, add the onions, garlic, celery, peppers, salt and pepper. Allow to cook, stirring frequently, for about 10 minutes.
- Pour in the chicken broth and 6 cups of the water, stir. If desired, us all broth for the liquid and no water.
- Stir in the Creole Seasoning. NOTE- the homemade Creole Seasoning has no salt. If you use a purchased product, such as Tony Chachere's, there is salt in most products. Please observe and adjust seasoning to accomodate these differences.
- Allow to cook over medium heat for about 20 minutes. Taste broth and add additional salt as desired. If gumbo appears too thick at any point in the cooking, add more water.
- Add the chicken thighs to the pot. The thighs may be boneless/skinless, or remove the skin from whole thighs. Thigh meat will remain moist.
- Allow the chicken to cook for about 45 minutes. Remove chicken pieces from stock. Place on plate to allow to cool.
- Once you have removed the chicken, add the sliced okra. Allow to cook in the broth for about 30 minutes.
- After the chicken has cooled for about 30 minutes, remove meat from the bones, and dice the cooked meat. Add to the pot.
- Taste and adjust seasonings to taste. To add heat, you may use cayenne pepper. If you wish to season with salt and heat, Tony Chachere's Original Creole Seasoning is a commonly used spice blend.
- Serve over cooked white rice- Uncle Ben's is most authentic.
- Recipe Notes: When storing leftovers, do not stir the rice into the gumbo. Keep rice and gumbo separate until ready to serve. If you add seafood to this gumbo, put it in at the very end of the cooking process- it only takes a few minutes for shrimp, crab, or oysters to cook. If you choose to add aliced andouille sausage or a couple hot links, put it in at the same time you add the okra.
