Welcome to the cooking segment with Uncle Larry.

Add 1/4 cup of oil to the bottom of the pot.

Add 1 pound of boneless chicken thighs to the pot.

Add 1/2 pound of your favorite sausage to the pot.

Brown the meat for about 5 minutes, adjusting the heat as necessary.

After browning, turn off the heat and prepare the gumbo base.

Add the Ready Set Gumbo base to the pot.

Add 2 cups of water for a thicker gumbo or up to 6 cups for a thinner consistency.

Bring the mixture to a boil, which will take about 10 minutes.

Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer.

Let it simmer to allow the chicken and sausage to absorb the flavors and skim the oil that rises to the top.
