    1 3/4 teaspoons paprika
    1 3/4 teaspoons salt
    1 1/4 teaspoons dry mustard
    3/4 teaspoon cayenne
    3/4 teaspoon garlic powder
    1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
    1/2 teaspoon black pepper
    1/2 teaspoon white pepper
    1 (3 lb) chicken, cut into 8 pieces
    2 tablespoons olive oil
    1 cup chopped onion
    3/4 cup chopped celery
    1/2 cup chopped bell pepper
    1/2 lb andouille sausage, quartered lengthwise and cut into 1/2 inch pieces
    6 ounces okra, trimmed and cut into 1/2 inch rounds
    2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
    1 cup chicken stock
Preparation
    Combine paprika, salt, mustard, cayenne, garlic powder, cumin, black pepper and white pepper.
    Sprinkle 4 teaspoons of seasoning mixture evenly over chicken, and rub in well.
    In a heavy 4-quart pot (preferably nonstick), heat oil over high heat just until it begins to smoke, 3-4 minutes.
    Add chicken, skin side down, and cook until browned, about 4 minutes.
    Turn chicken over and brown on other side, about 4 minutes.
    Remove chicken from pot and set aside.
    Add onions, celery, bell peppers, and 5 teaspoons of seasoning mixture.
    Stir well and scrape bottom of pan to loosen all the browned bits. Add a little bit of stock if necessary.
    Add andouille and okra and cook, stirring frequently, for 4 minutes.
    Sprinkle flour evenly over mixture in pot, and stir until no white is visible, about 1 minute.
    Add stock and scrape pan well.
    Return chicken and juices to pot, and bring just to a boil.
    Reduce heat to medium, cover, and simmer until chicken is cooked, about 15-20 minutes.
