Preparation

  1. Place the chicken bones in a pot with water to cook for 20 minutes and strain the liquid. Add the salt and saffron to the water so that it releases the color.
  2. Mix the spices in a bowl and season the chicken. Brown the chicken and set aside. Then, in the same pan, brown the onion with carrots and chorizos. Add the rice and stir together, browning.
  3. Add green peppers, red peppers, chicken, and boiling chicken broth with saffron and beer. Cover the pan and simmer for 17 minutes.
  4. After 17 minutes add peas, olives, capers and caper vinaigrette to the top of the dish. Cover and cook for 3 more minutes. Uncover, add the coriander and stir.
  5. Serve immediately.
