Instructions

Season the chicken pieces with 1/2 tsp of the salt and 1/4 tsp of the black pepper. Heat 1 tbsp of the vegetable oil in a 6-quart Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the chicken in a single layer and cook, undisturbed, for 3–4 minutes until the underside is golden brown, then stir and cook 2 minutes more until opaque throughout with no pink at the center. Transfer to a plate and set aside.

Add the remaining 1 tbsp oil to the pot. Add the andouille sausage slices and cook over medium-high heat for 3–4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cut sides are browned and the fat has rendered. Transfer to the plate with the chicken.
