💡 Profesjonelle tips
- ✓Using bone-in, skin-on chicken adds more flavor to the dish.
- ✓Rinsing the rice helps remove excess starch, preventing it from becoming too sticky.
- ✓Achiote is key for the authentic color and flavor; use paste for a richer taste.
- ✓Don't stir the rice too much once it's simmering, as this can make it gummy.
