"I'm going Spanish today," says Rach. "I'm doing a Spanish chicken—so simple—with chorizo." She browns the chicken and sausage, sautes aromatics and braises everything with pimenton, Espelette, fire-roasted piquillo peppers, wine, stock and canned tomatoes. The dish smells and tastes amazing and, as Rach says, it's "easy, easy, easy!" Try it with John's Apples to Oranges Cocktail, which he created to go with the recipe.
