Step 3

Followed to a T. Not sure what I did wrong but the rice was extremely mushy. Flavor was in point though

I used thighs also and added corn as well. It was a great recipe and very easy. I like the extra flavor from bone in and used the rendered fat to saute veg and rice before adding broth instead of water.

The recipe was extremely easy to follow. I did increase the cook time because I used chicken thighs. The dish was full of flavor. I will definitely make this again.
