Welcome to the channel; introduce the recipe for locrio de pollo.

Prepare 2 pounds of washed and cleaned chicken thighs and drums, removing the skin.

Add 1 tablespoon of garlic paste to the chicken.

Add 1 tablespoon of ground oregano to the chicken.

Add 2 tablespoons of sofrito to the chicken.

Add 1 orange seasoning packet from the Accent brand to the chicken.

Add 1 tablespoon of soy sauce to the chicken.

Slice and add 1/2 of a red onion to the chicken mixture.

Chop and add 1/2 of a red bell pepper to the chicken mixture.

Mix all the ingredients together and let marinate for 1 hour.

Heat 2 tablespoons of cooking oil in a pot over medium-high heat.

Add 2 chicken bouillon cubes to the pot and let them break down.

Add the marinated chicken to the pot and mix to give it color; cover the pot for 15 minutes.

After 15 minutes, check the chicken for color and add 2 cups of washed rice.

Mix the rice with the chicken to incorporate the flavors.

Add 3.5 cups of water to the pot and mix again.

Cover the pot and cook on medium-high heat for 8 to 10 minutes or until the rice absorbs all the liquid.

After 8 to 10 minutes, lower the heat to low and move the rice around to form a 'rice mountain' for even cooking.

Add cilantro on top of the rice and cover the pot with aluminum foil.

Set a timer for 25 minutes and cook on low heat.

After 25 minutes, remove the foil and cilantro, then fluff the rice.
