Instructions

Pat the chicken thighs dry and season all over with 1 tsp kosher salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Heat 1 tbsp of the oil (taken from the measured 1/2 cup) in a large 6-quart Dutch oven over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the chicken thighs skin-side down and sear undisturbed for 5ā6 minutes, until the skin is deep golden brown and releases easily from the pot. Flip and sear the second side for 3ā4 minutes. Transfer to a plate and set aside; the chicken will finish cooking in the gumbo.
