12 bone-in, skin-on chicken pieces (6 drumsticks and 6 thighs)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 large onion, chopped
1 red bell pepper, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon smoked paprika

5 saffron threads
1 cup frozen sweet peas

Steps:

Tips:

  • Use day-old rice. This will help prevent the rice from becoming mushy.

  • Use a good quality broth. The broth is the key to flavorful rice. Look for a broth that is low in sodium and has a rich flavor.
  • Add vegetables and protein. This will make your rice dish a complete meal. Some good options include chicken, shrimp, vegetables, and beans.
  • Season the rice to taste. Use salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You can also add a squeeze of lime juice or a dollop of sour cream.
