Steps:
- Combine 1 tablespoon salt and next 3 ingredients in a small bowl; sprinkle all over chicken. Heat 1/2 cup oil in a large heavy pot over medium heat. Working in batches, sear chicken until golden brown, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate. Add sausage to pot; cook until browned, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer to plate with chicken.
- Strain drippings from pot through a fine-mesh sieve into a 2-cup heatproof measuring cup; reserve 1 cup drippings, adding more oil if needed to measure 1 cup. Wipe pot clean; return drippings to pot.
- Heat drippings over medium heat. Whisk in flour. Whisk constantly until roux is the color of milk chocolate, 15-20 minutes. Reduce heat to low; add onions. Cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, about 10 minutes. Stir in white and pale-green parts of scallions and next 3 ingredients. Cook, stirring often, until soft, about 10 minutes.
- Slowly whisk in broth. Add bay leaves, thyme, and reserved chicken and sausage. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to low and simmer gently, skimming fat from surface and stirring occasionally, about 45 minutes.
- Stir in 1 cup okra, Worcestershire, and hot sauce. Simmer until chicken is very tender and flavors meld, about 45 minutes. Stir in remaining 1 cup okra; simmer until okra is crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Season to taste with salt. DO AHEAD: Can be made 2 days ahead. Let cool slightly; chill uncovered until cold. Cover and keep chilled. Rewarm gently before continuing. Add 1 teaspoon filé powder, if using.
- Serve gumbo over rice. Garnish with dark-green parts of scallions. Sprinkle with more filé powder, if desired.

[email protected]This gumbo was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I would recommend using less cayenne pepper next time.

[email protected]Not a fan of this gumbo. The roux was too dark, and the gumbo was too thick. I also didn't like the flavor of the sausage.

[email protected]This gumbo was just okay. I found the flavor to be a bit bland, and the chicken was dry. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

[email protected]This gumbo was easy to make and turned out great! I used chicken thighs instead of breasts, and it was still very flavorful. I will definitely be making this again.

[email protected]I've made this gumbo recipe several times now, and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The roux is the key to the dish, and it's important to cook it until it's a nice dark chocolate color.
