Ingredients

1.1kg pack chicken drumsticks

1 onion, chopped

2 tbsp olive oil

90g Chosen by you Diced Chorizo

2 red peppers, de-seeded and cut into pieces

1-2 cloves garlic, crushed

1 level tsp smoked paprika

Generous pinch of saffron

400g Asda Paella Rice (or Asda Arborio Rice)

50ml white wine (optional)

1.5 litre hot chicken stock

250g frozen peas

2 x 240g packs chilled Asda Ready To Eat Seafood Selection

12 green olives

Method

1
Make 3 cuts in the fleshy side of each drumstick. Barbecue for 20-25 minutes - or roast at 190C/170C Fan/Gas 5 for 30 minutes - turning occasionally, until cooked through. Set aside.
2
In a large frying pan, cook the onion in the oil on the barbecue - or hob - until soft. Add the chorizo and peppers and cook for 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the peppers soften. Add the garlic and cook for another minute.
3
Stir in the paprika and saffron. Add the rice and stir until it's well coated by the other ingredients. Stir in the wine, if using, and cook for another minute.
4
Pour in 500ml of the hot stock and simmer briskly, stirring occasionally, until it's almost absorbed.
5
Add the drumsticks and another 500ml of the stock, then simmer again, stirring occasionally, until the stock is almost absorbed.
6
Add the rest of the stock and the peas. Cook for a further 5 minutes.
7
Add the seafood and the olives, then cook for another 10 minutes, or until the chicken and seafood are cooked through and the rice is tender.
