directions

  • Place leg quarters in large cooking pot.
  • Add all the dry ingredients except rice and rub into the chicken until all leg quarters are coated.
  • Turn on the stove to medium heat and once you hear the first crackling add the wet ingredients. Reserve rice and other 2-3 cups of broth for later.
  • Once the liquid boils go to a lower heat for simmering.
  • Cover and let cook for 1-1 1/2 hours stirring every 15-20 minutes so that all the chicken is exposed to the liquid.
  • Once the chicken is cooked remove from pot and measure the amount of liquid you have left in a glass measuring cup.
  • Add 2-3 cups of broth to the left over liquid to measure 4 cups liquid.
  • Put liquid back in pot and once starts boiling add the rice. You may need to add some salt to the liquid if you like your rice a bit saltier.
  • Lower stove to simmer and simmer the rice for 15-20 minutes or until the rice is cooked.
  • Place chicken back in the pot and once the chicken is warm serve with rice.

  1. this was really excellent! I browned the chicken first mainly because I misread directions or got a bit confused doing too many things at once. so a good bit of seasoning wound up sticking to fry pan. but it was absolutely delicious. I used a tablespoon or 2 of sugar not the full 1/4 cup. and alot more chicken broth, i added a cup to the tomatoes while cooking the chicken, then added more broth as needed while cooking the rice. this really was excellent!!!!
