Steps:
- Season the chicken with salt and pepper to taste (The chicken can be marinated in olive oil and black pepper overnight. Add salt last minute if marinated) Make a dark roux- In a heavy iron skillet (prefer cast-iron), heat the vegetable oil over medium heat.
- Add the flour.
- With a wooden spoon, stir constantly and thouroughly, until the flour mixture reached an even chocolate color, about 15 minutes (black flecks means it's burned and will be bitter. Start over).
- Carefully add the onions, celery and Bell pepper.
- Stir constantly for 60 seconds.
- Add Garlic, stir to mix, and add the chicken.
- Stir to coat the chicken with the roux mixture.
- CAREFULLY and slowly, add the chicken stock.
- Chicken mixture can be transferred to a larger pot at this point. A Dutch oven is recommended.
- Cover the chicken with water, bring to a boil.
- Place the lid on the pot, reduce heat and simmer for 45-50 minutes.
- Stir occasionally, Sauce should be thickened.
- Just before serving, add chopped parsley to taste, season with salt and red pepper to taste.
- Serve over hot white rice.
- Hint: For saving leftovers, store the rice and the sauce in seperate containers.
- This prevents the rice from getting soggy.
