Instrucțiuni

1. Carefully remove skin from chicken and set aside, then pick meat from chicken and discard bones or save for future stock.

2. Heat oil over medium heat in shallow round enameled cast iron Dutch oven then cook shallot and celery until translucent, stirring occasionally. Add garlic and cook 30 seconds, then stir in sausage and cook until browned

3. Add rice and cook while stirring, to toast until slightly fragrant, about two minutes. Pour in chicken stock and stir until combined, then season with bay leaf, pepper, red pepper and salt. Fold in picked chicken meat, then bring to a rapid simmer and stir well. Reduce heat to medium low and cook while stirring for 5 minutes, cover with lid and cook over medium-low heat for 25 minutes.

4. While rice is cooking, place chicken skin flat in a large non-stick skillet and bring to medium-high heat. Cook until brown and crisp on one side, then turn and continue to cook until golden brown and crisp all over. Remove to a paper towel lined plate and reserve.

5. Remove rice from heat and let stand for 5 minutes. Remove lid, fluff rice gently then stir in thawed peas and half of the pimentos. Taste and season with additional salt if needed, then replace lid and let sit for another 5 minutes to warm peas.

6. Serve chicken bog garnished with additional pimentos, crisp chicken skin, parsley, and hot sauce (optional).
