I have been meaning to make this for awhile, I have never had it before so I looked at a bunch of recipes and came up with this.....

the players...... some chicken thighs, drums & wings..... bacon ends, chicken stock, FT , red pepper, onion , garlic, tomato sauce, peas, cumin, mexican oregano, bay leaf, salt, pepper & some saffron

chopped up the bacon ends and into the MAK griddle (I love this thing) to get crispy and render the fat, gave it a little time and then added the chicken to catch a little smoke

after the bacon crisped up I removed it, added a little oil and chicken went in to brown

chicken came out and the pepper & onions went in, then the garlic

while all that was happening ..... the rest of the ingredients went into the dutch oven, added the pepper/onion/garlic, some rice and topped with the chicken

I was going to finish it off in the MAK but it didn't want to hold temp well (against my better judgement tried some new pellets, fail, shouldn't mess with what works well) so I finished off on the stove......

almost everybody in the pot

just chicken & rice :)

Hamer - I guess they did pellet grill pellets for a short time and don't even make them anymore, a local place had them , part of the problem could be that they were 100% cherry, I was too lazy to go out too the garage and they were on the deck..... mistake x 2. will be interesting to see what the firepot looks like
