Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken: For this recipe, bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs or breasts work best. The bones and skin add flavor to the rice, and the chicken will stay moist during cooking.
  • Use high-quality saffron: Saffron is a key ingredient in this dish, so it's important to use high-quality saffron threads. Look for saffron that is a deep red color and has a strong aroma.
  • Toast the rice: Toasting the rice before cooking it helps to bring out its flavor and prevent it from becoming mushy.
  • Use a flavorful broth: The broth you use to cook the rice will add a lot of flavor to the dish. Use a broth that is rich in flavor, such as chicken broth or vegetable broth.
  • Let the rice rest before serving: After the rice is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the rice to absorb the flavors of the other ingredients.

Conclusion:

Spanish chicken with yellow rice is a delicious and flavorful dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is tender and juicy, and the rice is fluffy and flavorful. This dish is also relatively easy to make, and it's a great way to use up leftover chicken.
