Heat a pan over medium heat.
Prepare vegetables: chop 1 yellow onion, 1 green bell pepper, 4 cloves garlic, 2 sticks celery, and a bunch of green onion. Store in the fridge until ready to use.
In a hot pot, add 2/3 cup vegetable oil and 1 cup all-purpose flour to make a roux. Stir quickly.
Cook the roux for over an hour, starting at medium-low heat and increasing to medium-high towards the end, stirring continuously.
Season 4 to 5 pounds of chicken (thighs and drumsticks) with generous portions of Cajun seasoning and garlic powder on both sides.
Dust the seasoned chicken with flour, shaking off excess.
In a separate pan, add 1/4 cup vegetable oil and place the chicken skin side down. Fry for 5 to 8 minutes on each side.
Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
Add the prepared vegetables to the same pan and sauté for 25 to 30 minutes until tender, stirring occasionally.
Monitor the roux, ensuring it doesn't burn, and adjust heat as necessary.
Add 32 ounces of chicken stock to the sautéed vegetables and stir to combine.
Lower the heat to a simmer and let sit.
Once the roux reaches a nice chocolate color, carefully add the contents of the frying pan to the roux, stirring to combine.
Add 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon coarse ground black pepper, 1 tablespoon parsley flakes, 1 bay leaf, and 2 cups of water to the mixture.
Stir everything together, ensuring the roux is well blended.
Add the fried chicken back into the pot, ensuring it's submerged in the gravy.
Raise the heat to bring the mixture to a boil, then cover and reduce to a simmer.
Cook for 2 hours, stirring occasionally.
