Steps:
- Preheat the oven at 190C/375F.
- Cut the chicken thighs into small pieces (about 1 inch each), season with salt and pepper, and dust with flour. Mix until all pieces are covered in flour.
- In a frying pan, heat up 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and cook the chicken for 5 minutes until slightly golden. Remove the chicken from the pan and transfer to a baking tray lined with baking paper. Place into the heated oven and cook for 20-25 minutes until crispy.
- Meanwhile, add the seafood mix to the frying pan in which you cooked the chicken and cook for 8-10 minutes (or 12-15 if frozen). You can season with salt as it cooks. When there's no more liquid left, remove from heat.
- Cut the chorizo into 1 cm cubes and add them to the main pan/casserole you're making the paella in. Fry it for 1-2 minutes until crispy. Add the chopped onion and sliced peppers, and cook for 10 minutes until soft.
- Prepare the chicken stock and infuse it with saffron (make sure it's really hot when adding the saffron).
- Add the smoked paprika to the chorizo mixture and cook for 30 seconds. Add the rice and the stock, and cook for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add the seafood mix and peas to the pan and continue to cook for a further 10 minutes with a lid on until the liquid is mostly gone and the rice gets sticky to the bottom of the pan. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper if needed.
- Stir in the cooked chicken pieces and serve hot with lemon wedges for squeezing. You can also garnish the paella with parsley (optional).

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Simmer the chicken stock in a medium saucepan.
- In a 13-inch paella pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chorizo and cook until lightly browned; transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate. Add the onions, peppers and garlic to the pan and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes and stir to combine, then stir in the rice and saffron. Deglaze the pan with the white wine and cook, stirring, until most of the liquid has evaporated, 2 minutes. Pour in 5 cups of the simmering chicken stock and bring to a boil over high heat, stirring constantly. Immediately remove the pan from the heat and season with salt. Arrange the chorizo and shrimp on top of the rice.
- Set the pan on the floor of the oven or on the lowest oven rack and bake, uncovered, for 20 minutes. (Do not stir the paella once it goes in the oven.) Scatter the peas over the paella, return to the oven and continue cooking until all the liquid has been absorbed and the rice is tender but not too soft, another 5 to 10 minutes. If the rice needs further cooking, add the remaining cup of stock and cook for an additional 5 to 10 minutes.
- Let the paella stand at room temperature, covered with foil, for 5 minutes. Serve garnished with lemon wedges and parsley.

Steps:
- Heat the olive oil in a deep frying pan over a high heat. Brown the chicken all over - don't cook completely. Once browned, transfer to a plate.
- Reduce the heat to low, add the onions and cook slowly until softened, about 10 mins. Add the garlic, stir for 1 min, then toss in the chorizo and fry until it releases its oils.
- Stir in the spices, then tip in the rice. Stir to coat the rice in the oils and spices for about 2 mins, then pour in the stock. Bring to the boil, return the chicken to the pan and simmer for about 20 mins, stirring occasionally.
- Add the peas to the pan and simmer for a further 5 mins until the rice is cooked and the chicken is tender. Season well and serve with the lemon and parsley.

SPANISH PAELLA (WITH CHICKEN AND SEAFOOD)
A wonderful Spanish Paella that's very easy to make and the presentation is great as well. You'll need a very large skillet or a paella pan. The clams are optional, but I would recommend using them.

Steps:
- Rinse the chicken pieces and pat them dry. Mix the oregano and paprika with some salt and pepper in a small bowl. Rub the spice mixture all over the pieces of chicken; marinate for 30 minutes so the flavor can sink in a bit.
- Heat the olive oil in a paella pan or wide shallow skillet over medium-high heat. Place the chicken in the pan, skin-side down and brown on all sides, turning with tongs. Add the chorizo and continue to cook until the oil is a vibrant red color. Remove the chicken and sausage to a platter lined with paper towels.
- Return the pan to the stove and lower the heat to medium. Make a sofrito by sauteing the garlic, onion, and tomatoes; cook until the mixture caramelizes a bit and the flavors meld; season with salt and pepper. Fold in the rice, stirring to coat the grains. Stir the saffron into the rice. Pour in the water and simmer for 10 minutes, gently moving the pan around so the rice cooks evenly and absorbs the liquid. Do not cover or constantly stir like risotto.
- Add the shrimp, lobster, clams, the reserved chicken, and the chorizo. Give the paella a couple of good stirs to tuck in all the pieces and just let it simmer, without stirring, until the rice is al dente, about 15 minutes. Scatter the peas on top and continue to cook for 5 minutes, until the paella looks fluffy and moist. The ideal paella has a toasted rice bottom called socarrat. Allow to rest, off the heat for 5 minutes, and garnish with parsley. Serve with lemon wedges.

PAELLA (BEEF, CHICKEN AND CHORIZO)
Had a similar dish at this amazing restaurant in Saint Augustine, Florida and had to recreate for home! The restaurant had the traditional paella and a land-lover's version. I'm not a lover of seafood, so here goes... As a note: Pimento, olives, a little cayenne, shrimp (I can't stand the buggers but have added them for my husband), and sliced green onions have all made lovely additions at one time or another.
