Awesome Chicken and Yellow Rice image

This is one of my staples and it is often requested. There is a lot of garlic in this, but it does not overpower. Served with good bread and a salad, it can't be beat. I use the packaged Vigo yellow rice mix for ease. Also, because this cooks for awhile, use either chicken thighs, legs or quarters to keep from drying out. Find the whole garlic cloves and spread them on your bread. I use a paella pan with a lid or you can use a casserole dish that you cover with foil.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but it was still very good. I would recommend using less cayenne pepper next time. Otherwise, the chicken and rice were cooked perfectly and the flavors were well-balanced.
