Number Of Ingredients 20

2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon plus 1/2 teaspoon Creole seasoning, (I use Tony Chachere's)
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 medium onion, (diced)
1 green bell pepper, (diced)
1 celery rib, (diced)
2 garlic cloves, (minced)
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes
3 cups chicken broth
2 slices bacon
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon sugar
2 bay leaves
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon Tabasco sauce
salt and pepper
3 green onions, (sliced)
white rice for serving

Steps:

Cut each chicken thigh into 6 pieces. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of Creole seasoning. Place in a medium bowl and add flour. Stir to coat the chicken evenly.
Heat 1/4 cup of oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
Cook the chicken in 2 batches until golden on both sides, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate. Reserve the flour left in the bowl.
Add the onion, green pepper, celery, garlic, remaining tablespoon of oil and the leftover flour to the Dutch oven. Cook, stirring often for 5 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Stir in the tomato paste and then add the crushed tomatoes, chicken broth, bacon, Worcestershire sauce, sugar, bay leaves, and thyme.
Add chicken and any juices back to the Dutch oven. Bring to a simmer, cover and place in oven for 30 minutes. Uncover and cook another 15 minutes.
Add Tabasco sauce and season to taste with salt and pepper. Remove the bay leaves.
Serve with rice and sprinkle with green onions.

Number Of Ingredients 26

1/4 cup olive oil
1 (3 pound) fryer chicken, cut into 8 pieces
1 teaspoon salt, plus 1/2 teaspoon
1 1/2 teaspoons Essence, recipe follows
3/4 cup plus 3 tablespoons bleached all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups chopped yellow onions
3/4 cup chopped green bell peppers
3/4 cup chopped celery
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon cayenne
4 bay leaves
4 cups seeded and chopped plum tomatoes
3 cups chicken stock or low-sodium canned chicken broth
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon Emeril's Red Pepper Sauce or other hot pepper sauce
Hot white rice, for serving
1/2 cup chopped green onions (green and white parts)
1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
2 1/2 tablespoons paprika
2 tablespoons salt
2 tablespoons garlic powder
1 tablespoon black pepper
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon dried thyme

Steps:

Heat 1/4 cup of the olive oil in large heavy nonstick pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Season the chicken with 1 teaspoon of the salt. In a bowl combine the Essence with 1/2 cup of the flour and stir to combine. Dredge the chicken pieces in the seasoned flour mixture and shake to remove any excess flour. Brown the pieces, in batches if necessary, until golden on all sides, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
Stir in the onions, bell peppers, celery, remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt, crushed red pepper flakes, cayenne, and bay leaves. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are soft and lightly golden, about 5 minutes. Add the remaining 3 tablespoons of the flour and cook, stirring, to cook the flour without browning, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes, chicken stock, Worcestershire, and pepper sauce.
Return the chicken to the pot, increase the heat under the sauce to medium-high and bring to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is fall-from the bone tender, about 1 1/2 hours. Remove and discard the bay leaves.
To serve, spoon the rice onto plates, top with the chicken and sauce, and garnish with the green onions and parsley.
Combine all ingredients thoroughly.
