- Heat oil in a large pan over medium-high heat and fry the chicken thighs skin side down for around 5 minutes until browned, flip them over and fry for a further 2-3 minutes on the underside to brown. Remove from the pan along with any excess fat and set aside.
- Add the onion and garlic and fry for 2 minutes until it begins to soften. Add the chorizo and fry for a further 2 minutes.
- Add the rice along with the Paprika, Thyme and Crushed Chilli Flakes, cook constantly stirring until the rice begins to turn translucent.
- Add the wine, allow to bubble and cook off for around 2 minutes then add the chicken stock, Saffron and red pepper, return the chicken thighs to the pan, reduce the heat and cook for 15-20 minutes on a low simmer until most of the water has been absorbed and the rice is al dente.
- Stir in the mussels, prawns, peas and Parsley. Cover and cook for around 5 minutes or until all the water has been absorbed and the chicken and seafood are cooked through.
