Instructions
- 1
Season the chicken thighs on both sides with 1/2 tsp of the salt and 1/4 tsp of the black pepper. Heat 1 tbsp of the oil in a 6-quart Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the chicken thighs skin-side down and sear undisturbed for 5–6 minutes, until the skin is deep golden brown and releases easily from the pot. Flip and sear the second side for 3 minutes, then transfer to a plate. The chicken will finish cooking in the broth.

Add the andouille sausage rounds to the same pot in a single layer and cook over medium-high heat for 2–3 minutes per side, until browned at the edges. Transfer to the plate with the chicken.
