    This recipe was awesome. It was so easy, and I loved that it only used one-pan! The rice was soft and flavorful. I did make sure to remove the skins off the drumsticks before cooking.

    This was great. Made it with 4 chicken thighs and added some cayenne..the chicken was incredibly tender, this made SO MUCH rice (that’s a good thing)!

    Thank you so much for your work in helping people feed their families on a budget. Your work matters.

    Hey Julia! I think the measurements are off on this one. I made this dish last night and we weren’t able to eat it cause of the seasoning. I think you might have meant to put tsp instead of tbsp?
