Cooking Instructions

  • Combine all marinade ingredients in a medium sized mixing bowl. Add chicken thighs and turn to coat. Set aside.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Add drizzle of olive oil to Dutch oven and heat over MED-HIGH heat. Brown andouille sausage on both sides, then transfer sausage to a plate.
  • Add chicken thighs, skin side down, and sear for 2-3 minutes per side, to develop a nice crispy skin.
  • Transfer chicken to plate with the sausage, and use a paper towel to wipe out any black bits from the pan. Brown bits and pan drippings are good to leave in though.
  • Lower heat to MED-LOW and add in chopped onion, jalapeno and celery. Saute for about 2-3 minutes, until softened.
  • Add cayenne, red pepper flakes and salt and pepper and stir.
  • Add rice and chicken stock, give it a stir, and let simmer for 1 minute.
  • Nestle chicken thighs and sausage on top of the rice (pour in the juices that are left on the plate as well). Return to a simmer, then cover.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 35 minutes (covered).
  • Remove cover and bake another 10-15 minutes, until liquid is absorbed into the rice.
  • Garnish with sliced green onions and minced parsley!
