I have only eaten arroz con pollo once, but fell in love with it. I have never attempted it at home since it seemed like such a chore... but with your beautifully written step by step directions and links to all the accompaniments, this was a breeze... Even if it does take some preparation time, the end result is well worth it. I did end up using on drumsticks and thighs since we like dark meat... I don't even think I could fit the breast meat in the very large dutch oven I used... So make sure you use the biggest pot you have to make sure all the ingredients are submerged. The chorizo, when browned with the chicken gave it a very pretty golden color... After all the work and prep, I was happy with the end result... My BF liked it, but thought the flavors were quite strong and a little overwhelming to his palete. He wasn't too fond of all the oregano... which I would probably cut back on next time, just for our tastes. I did use beer as instructed, but didn't really care for the "hoppiness" as much as I thought I would. (I am not a beer drinker) So, I might try a different brand of beer or maybe half beer and half chicken broth next time. This recipe makes plenty for at least 8 servings... so it's great for entertaining. Since it's only the two of us, I shared with some with friends and froze the rest for a rainy day. Thank you so much for all the research you put into developing this recipe. While it was delicious, it wasn't really my BF's cup of tea, but I may make it again to impress guests.

I read your other recipes that go along with this recipe. I have to say this is the best I have ever had. I love spanish food and it is hard to get.This is a keeper and deserves more than 5 stars.
