1 onion chopped and bunch of green onions chopped
2 Tablespoon salt
2 tsp. black pepper
1 chicken cut in serving pieces

Heat oil on high heat. Add flour to hot oil and stir constantly until flour is dark brown. This brown flour oil mixture is a roux. Add six cups hot water and mix well to dissolve roux. Season with salt and pepper. Add onions and let boil for about 1 hr, then add pieces of chicken and cook another hour or until chicken is done. If you use a fresh hen, add pieces with water etc. and cook 2 hours or until hen is tender. For variation add two dozen oysters or shrimp 15 minutes before removing from heat. Serve hot with fluffy white rice. Add file` when serving at table as this seasoning thickens gumbo.
