Smoked Chicken & Shrimp Paella
This is my 5th or 6th attempt at Paella.
After the last couple, I decided it needed more smoke flavor. So I went with 2 legs & 2 thighs, rubbed with Ploughboy's Fin & Feather. Let them sit about an hour before they went into the mini... After an hour or so they were juicy, smoky & ready! Deboned & cut up all that smoky goodness Time to get ready for some serious grillin... Cooking down the sofrito Everything is coming together nicely Finally got a nice little soccarat. Can't say it's my best. But it was prety darn good. Gotta love Paella!

very nice FYI, spanish chorizo is loaded with smoked paprika. Chorizo and spanish smoked paprika is how restaurants get that smoked flavor in their paellas.
I can see you nailed the saccorat (crispy rice that forms on the bottom).

I liked the ones online, but I prefer to shop local if I can. I got mine from my local Ace Hardware. It's a SS Green Egg model. 14" so it's more than enough for the better half & me. It's worked great for me + I supported a local business. Win - Win!

Here is a great store for Paella stuff. Coincidentally, they are about a half mile from my house. High quality stuff. Check 'em out.

So, I prefer a steel (non-stainless) pan with dimples. In theory, the dimples catch some of the oil and keep your stuff from burning. I have a 15 inch pan and larger. You don't want to start too large. Doing a Paella is all about the prep work as things happen real fast.
Quite often, I make the Sofrito in advance. Makes it a lot easier because if you are making a Paella, you probably have company. They feed a lot of people. Nice Paella!!
