You can follow this recipe that I made. I used 3 lbs. of boneless, skinless chicken thighs
plus 1.5 lbs. of andouille sausage just because I like to add more meat.
This recipe should work for you Kendall.

Not being sure about the stock, veggies, etc. that you are using??? when I make roux, I usually make
a big batch 3-4 cups oil and of flour. It keeps in the fridge forever, and I always have some for another gumbo or to season other dishes with.
When I was working out of south Texas, Corpus, you can buy quarts in the market.
I actually enjoy the zen thing of cooking it to the right mahogany color and the toast aroma. Sort of like doing the perfect risotto?
A fine place in Galveston uses it in their chicken and dumplings!
Yummm, can't have too much roux,
enjoy,

Thank you Sandy and Nan that answered it!
Good recipe Sandy, but I have chicken and smoked sausages, just trying to an amount of roux to an amount of stock.
I have the trinity, all the required veggies you need.
I'm going to make a cup of roux. I've never tried to make risotto.

I saute up whatever meats I'm using pre-gumbo then use that fat for a dark chocolate roux.
