If comfort food had a flag, it would smell like this. Chicken and yellow rice is the kind of one-pan dinner that fills the whole house with the scent of Sazon, roasting chicken, and sweet peppers, the plate that turns an ordinary weeknight into something everyone shows up for. Bone-in chicken bakes low and slow under foil with tomatoes, onions, cilantro, and a rich chicken broth, then gets spooned over a bed of golden Vigo yellow rice and Goya black beans. A pour of Carlos' Consuming Fire Hot Sauce at the table, and dinner's done. This is my family recipe. It feeds a crowd, it reheats beautifully, and it tastes like somebody loves you.

Method

1
Preheat and season: Preheat a convection oven to 425°F (220°C). Lay the chicken parts evenly in a large deep aluminum pan. Season generously with salt, pepper, Badia Complete, Goya Adobo, and both packets of Sazon, coating every piece.
2
Add the vegetables: Dice the tomatoes and onions, chop the cilantro, and slice the green pepper into long strips. Scatter everything evenly over the chicken.
3
Pour in the broth: Stir the Better Than Bouillon roasted chicken base into 1 cup of warm water until dissolved, then pour it over the chicken and vegetables.
4
Seal and bake: Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil, wrapping well on all sides. Cut five 1-inch slits in the foil, one at each corner and one in the center to vent steam. Bake for 40-45 minutes, checking now and then for doneness and tenderness. The chicken should reach a safe internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
5
Make the rice and beans: While the chicken bakes, prepare the Vigo yellow rice per the package directions. Warm the Goya black beans in a pot with a little fresh diced garlic stirred in.
