While the hen is cooling she makes the roux once it is dark she adds it to the stock stirring till she gets the consistency she wants then adds already smothered okra. While that is simmering she pulls the hen apart and puts it back even dicing the skin and adding it. The dogs get the knuckles and some goes out to the kitties so we all enjoy the process. It's so simple uneducated ole Cajun grandmas have been doing it for centuries. It aint rocket science its gumbo.

Might be simple but it dame good!!!!
