In a large Dutch oven, combine a cup of oil with flour and stir constantly to create a dark roux, which will take about 30 to 45 minutes.
Meanwhile, brown the sausage in a skillet until golden.
Cut the chicken thighs and breasts into pieces, season well, and brown them; then set aside.
After about 45 minutes, once the roux has turned a rich chocolate brown, add the 'holy trinity' - celery, green bell pepper, and onion, along with the garlic; stir well.
Pour in the chicken broth and add the seasonings: Cajun spice, black pepper, garlic-herb seasoning, and bay leaves; let the mixture simmer for about 45 minutes.
Add the browned chicken and sausage to the pot and cook for approximately one hour.
Stir in the gumbo filé powder and cook for an additional 10 minutes, until the sauce thickens.
