Season chicken with salt and pepper.

Scrape up any browned bits in the skillet and add them to the crock pot. Set aside.
Add remaining 3 tablespoons oil to the skillet and heat until hot.
Add flour and cook, stirring constantly, until golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes.
Carefully add onion, pepper, and celery and cook until the vegetables start to wilt, about 2 minutes.
Add 1 1/2 cups of the broth and stir until smooth and incorporated.
Pour mixture into the crock pot, add okra, bay leaf, tomatoes and hot sauce; cover and turn crock pot to low.
