Chicken

Select thighs and drumsticks from a small to medium-sized chicken.

Garlic

Unless you proceed promptly from step 10 to step 11, your garlic will burn and become bitter.

Heat

Use low heat in step 14 to avoid scorching the pot.

Lid

Preserve steam in the pot by not lifting the lid during the cooking process in step 14.

Variations

Chicken breasts

Use chicken breasts exclusively, or use them in combination with the thighs and drumsticks.

Smoked pork products

Add diced chorizo or ham with the onions in my recipe's Step 10.

Vegetables

Add green vegetables such as peas.

Other ingredients

Substitute rabbit or shellfish (lobster, shrimp, mussels, and clams are popular choices) for the chicken. Or combine a medley of these ingredients for a paella.
