First paella cook so I was a bit nervous. Followed the Naked Whiz recipe some what. I substituted sweat peas for the garbanzo beans,dice the garlic instead of leaving whole and totally skipped the green beans. Fire management was fairly easy following NW suggestion(I was concerned about fire getting to hot)
Everything prepped and ready. Using the smalls mates as a work station
Chicken thighs gettin happy in the EVOO
Chicken removed and peppers and garlic gettin kinda cozy
Added the tomato
Then the rice for a quick sauté then the saffron infused chicken stock
And the final product.
I was very happy (and so was the wife) with the way this turned out, but I have to admit I was questioning myself right before I got started. A word of advice (Ian glad I listened to others here) is to be totally ready before you start cooking this. I had everything ready and still was intense but prolly cause it was my first time with this dish.

Did you use chorizo?

It looks great! This is definitely something I want to try.@BigGreenCraigdotcom - yours looks incredible as well. I have bookmarked your recipe- thanks!Which came first the chicken or the egg? I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg.

Thanks! You can get crazy with the ingredients you use. I had a guy that used my recipe send a couple pictures to me. He had 3 whole lobsters in one & king crab legs in another. It really is whatever you enjoy.BTW- The picture that I posted is a 20" pan. It barely fits on the XL Big Green Egg. It is massive and makes a truly truly awesome presentation.

Your paella looks great, Mattman. I need to try paella again. The one time we did it, we had less than stellar results (our fault, added to much stuff)

@frankie482 - no chorizo this time. The local grocery didn't have any and I wasn't driving another 30mins to get it. It will be in my next batch.
@Griffin - thank you.-----------------------------------------analyze adapt overcome2008 -Large BGE. 2013- Small BGE and 2015 - Mini. Henderson, Ky. -
