Using a family recipe, chef Jose Enrique makes this chicken-and-rice recipe with what seems like too much stock, wine and pilsner, but the result is especially moist. Use short-grain rice like Bomba, which absorbs liquid well.
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 (3 1/2-pound) chicken, cut into 8 pieces
Kosher salt
Pepper
1 medium onion, minced
2 serrano chiles, seeded and minced
2 garlic cloves, minced
3 plum tomatoes (1 pound), cored and finely diced
1 teaspoon ground achiote (annatto)
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
Small pinch of saffron threads
1 cup dry white wine
3 cups chicken stock
1 cup pilsner or light beer
2 cups Bomba or other short-grain rice
1/2 cup chopped parsley
Avocado–Green Pea Salsa, for serving
