Roux employed a medium-high heat. Everything depends on the stove. It takes around an hour to get the melted milk chocolate appearance. By cooking the roux longer, you can make it darker.

After adding the vegetables, cook them for an additional 10 minutes.

Cooking your sausage in a different pan while the vegetable is heating up is a good idea. If the sausages don't brown sufficiently, adding the roux is acceptable.

Once the sausage has been lightly browned, add enough chicken stock to the pan to release the drippings.

Add the sausage after the roux and vegetables are done. Add salt, bay leaves, Cajun spice, garlic powder, and the remaining stock to the pot. For 15 to 20 minutes, simmer it.

Water two cups in. Now bring it to a boil and skim any oil that rises to the top. However, those who assert to be familiar with that flavor mention it.

Cook the chicken for 1.5 hours after adding it. You can now begin serving your Cajun gumbo. With white rice, savor!
