Instructions

1.Place the whole chicken and water in a large pot and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer until chicken is cooked through, about 1 hour.
2.Remove the chicken from the pot and let it cool before shredding the meat and discarding the bones and skin.
3.In a separate pot, whisk together millet flour and vegetable oil over medium-high heat to make the roux. Stir constantly until the roux turns dark brown, about 10 minutes.
4.Add onion, bell pepper, and garlic to the roux and continue stirring until vegetables are soft and golden, about 5 minutes.
5.Add the andouille sausage, celery, and green onion to the pot and continue cooking for another 10 minutes.
6.Pour the chicken broth from the first pot into the pot with vegetables and sausage. Add bay leaves, salt, dried thyme, and cayenne pepper. Bring to a boil and then reduce heat to low and simmer for an hour or more, until the gumbo has thickened and the flavors have melded together.
7.Mix in the shredded chicken and file powder, and allow to simmer again for another 10-15 minutes before serving over rice.
