Add the ham bone or hock for a rich flavor. Pour in chicken stock or broth until the ingredients are well-covered. Adjust the liquid level as needed during cooking. Season with hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, Cajun seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Start with a moderate amount and adjust later according to taste.
