Instructions

Prepare Seasoning Mix: Start by combining the seasoning mix ingredients in a small bowl. Set aside.
Season Chicken: Generously sprinkle both sides of the chicken pieces with about 4 teaspoons of the seasoning mix.
Coat with Flour: Combine the remaining seasoning mix with the all-purpose flour in a paper or plastic bag. Generously coat each chicken piece with the seasoned flour. Reserve any leftover flour for making the roux later.
Heat Oil: In a large skillet, heat about 1 inch of oil to a temperature of 230-250°C (446-482°F).
Fry Chicken: Cook the chicken pieces in the hot oil, ensuring the temperature remains just hot enough for the chicken to boil instead of fry. Cook pieces of similar size together to ensure even cooking. Boil with the skin side down for about 20 minutes, then flip and cook for an additional 15 minutes or until tender. Drain the cooked chicken on paper towels.
Prepare Roux: Remove the skillet from heat and let it cool for about 15 minutes. Pour the oil into a large glass bowl, leaving the sediment in the pan. Return 1/2 cup of the cooled oil back into the skillet and heat over high heat. Slowly whisk in 3/4 cup of the reserved seasoned flour with a long-handled metal whisk, cooking until the roux is smooth and medium-colored, about 2 to 3 minutes. Whisk constantly to prevent scorching. Immediately stir in the onions and celery, and continue cooking until the onions are wilted, about 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat.
Prepare Sauce: In a 4-quart saucepan, bring the rich chicken broth to a boil. Add the roux mixture by spoonfuls to the boiling stock, blending well between each addition. Then add the boiled chicken pieces and the remaining seasonings.
Simmer: Simmer the mixture uncovered over low heat for 1 hour, stirring often. If needed, simmer longer for tenderizing the chicken further.
Serve: Serve the Sticky Chicken immediately over rice or potatoes for a hearty and satisfying meal.
