GRILLED CHICKEN AND CHORIZO WITH SPANISH-STYLE MARINADE
The star ingredient in this intensely flavored marinade is pimenton, smoked Spanish paprika. Look for it in specialty food stores or order from The Spanish Table (206-682-2827 or tablespan.com); regular paprika will not give you the same flavor. Dark meat chicken is the best for grilling, but if you prefer breasts, cook them for 10 minutes less. Serve chicken and sausages with Paella Rice Salad and grilled bread slices rubbed with a garlic clove and a cut tomato.

Steps:
- In a measuring cup, whisk together vinegar, garlic, salt, oregano, pimenton, and pepper to taste. Add olive oil and whisk until blended. Place chicken in a large re-sealable plastic bag and pour in the vinegar mixture. Seal bag, then shake gently to coat chicken with marinade. Let chicken marinate at room temperature for 2 hours or refrigerate overnight.
- Prepare a fire in a barbecue and let coals burn down until covered with gray ash. Remove chicken from bag with tongs, shaking off excess marinade, and place skin-sides down on grill. Cook, turning as needed, until skin is crispy and meat near bone is no longer pink (cut with a knife to test), about 35 minutes. During last 10 minutes of barbecuing, add chorizo to grill and cook, turning until skin crackles and sausages are hot throughout, about 10 minutes. Cut sausages into portions to serve if necessary.
- Bring the water and salt to boil in a medium saucepan. When water is boiling, stir in pinch saffron. Add the rice, reduce heat, cover, and simmer until rice is just tender (about 20 minutes).
- Meanwhile, in a large bowl, blend vinegar and mustard with a fork. Pour in olive oil in a thin stream, whisking with fork to emulsify. Stir in the peas, bell peppers, parsley, and oregano. When rice is cooked, add it to the bowl and stir well to distribute dressing and ingredients. Let rice cool to room temperature and serve. Or refrigerate up to 1 day, then serve.
DOMINICAN FRIED CHICKEN (CHICHARRONES DE POLLO)
Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- In a large nonreactive mixing bowl or plastic zip-top bag, combine lime juice, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and minced garlic.
- Add the chicken strips and allow to marinate for 30 minutes or up to 3 hours.
- Gather the ingredients.
- In a separate mixing bowl or plastic zip-top bag, combine the flour, paprika, pepper, and salt and mix well.
- Remove the chicken from the marinade. Discard the leftover marinade . Pat the chicken pieces with paper towels. You want them moist enough for the coating to stick, but not so wet that it slides off.
- Coat the marinated chicken well with the seasoned flour mixture.
- Gather the ingredients.
- Place the vegetable oil for frying into a deep-sided frying pan, or use a deep fryer if you have one. Heat the oil over medium-high heat to 360 F (182 C).
- Don't overheat or under-heat the oil. You want the chicken to start cooking when you place it in the oil, but not spatter hot oil.
- Don't crowd the pan with the chicken. Fry it in batches until golden brown outside and completely cooked inside (about 2 minutes per side). The chicken should not be pink in the middle. The Food and Drug Administration recommends 165 F (74 C).
- Place chicken on a plate lined with a paper towel to absorb the oil. Keep the chicken warm until you are ready to serve it.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Season chicken on both sides with salt and paprika. Heat an ovenproof 12-inch skillet or shallow braising pan over medium-high heat. Swirl in oil. Working in 2 batches, add chicken to pan and cook until well browned, about 2 minutes on each side, adding more oil as needed. Transfer chicken as it is browned to a plate.
- Reduce heat to low and stir in garlic, then tomato paste, scraping up browned bits in pan with a wooden spoon. Return chicken to skillet, increase heat to high, and pour in vinegar. Boil, stirring, until reduced to a glaze.
- Stir in broth and bring to a boil. Add peppers and olives. Transfer to oven and braise until a thermometer inserted into thickest part of breast (do not touch bone) reaches 160 degrees and liquid is reduced by half, 20 to 25 minutes. Garnish with parsley.
