== Procedures ==
# I use a heavy black iron pot with a heavy lid.
# Put into pot ½ cup of [[lard]] and just brown all sides of [[chicken]] legs, wings, breasts, backs, etc.
# If you have liver and gizzards use them also.
# Remove [[chicken]] from pot and set aside.
# Into the juices and [[lard]] in the pot, saute 1 chopped [[onion]] along with the 2 cups of rinsed raw [[rice]].
# Just saute [[rice]] and [[onion]] until [[onion]] is transparent.
# Stir in 1 heaping tbsp of Hungarian paprika and 1½ tsp of [[salt]].
# Into pot, add 1 chopped [[green bell pepper|green pepper]], and one can of whole [[tomato]]es that were not drained but pulled apart.
# Throw in 1 [[bay leaf]] and mix up the [[rice]] and veggie mix.
# Now layer the browned [[chicken]] into the [[rice]] and veggie mix.
# I just scoop up some [[rice]] mix and lay [[chicken]] underneath, [[rice]] layer, [[chicken]] layer.
# Give the pot a shake to settle everything.
# Now start the pot to simmer on a moderate heat on top of the stove, when it all starts to cook, lower the heat and put the cover on and do not lift up the cover for at least 60 minutes.
# You must slowly cook and give it a shake once in a while, but do not uncover.
# Use the lowest heat possible, you can hear if it is cooking.
# Adjust [[salt]] seasoning, this dish should not be sloppy like a stew, it should be moist.
