Heat oil in a pan.
Prepare a flour dredge with flour and Cajun seasonings.
Dredge chicken thighs in the flour mixture for an even coating.
Sear chicken thighs skin-side down in the pan until browned.
Flip the chicken thighs and continue cooking until browned on both sides.
Remove the browned chicken from the pan and set aside.
Make a roux by mixing 1/2 cup canola oil with 1/2 cup flour in the pan, stirring constantly for about 20 minutes until it reaches a light chocolate brown color.
Add chopped onion, celery, and jalapeno to the roux and cook for about 5 minutes to soften the vegetables.
Stir in minced garlic and additional Cajun seasonings, salt, and pepper.
Pour in 4 cups of chicken broth and mix until slightly thickened.
Add the browned chicken back into the pan and cover with the broth mixture.
Add 2 bay leaves for extra flavor.
Simmer until the chicken is fall-off-the-bone tender.
