Season the chicken with a few pinches of salt and a little pepper; let it sit for 30 minutes if possible.

Heat 50 ml of olive oil in a pan.

Chop 1 onion and 4 cloves of garlic; add them to the pan along with 1 bay leaf and sauté until the onion is translucent.

Add the seasoned chicken to the pan and brown on both sides.

Add 100 ml of white wine to the pan; ensure the heat is at maximum to release the alcohol, then cover and let it sit for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

While the chicken is cooking, heat 1200 ml of water in a separate pot until boiling.

After 10 minutes, check the chicken; the water should also be boiling by now.

Add the boiling water to the chicken, reduce heat to medium, and let it cook for about 20 minutes, checking for tenderness.

After 20 minutes, add 300 grams of carolino rice to the pot; wait for it to start boiling before adding.

Cook the rice for 12 to 15 minutes, checking for doneness.

At 12 minutes, check the rice; if it's still a little hard, add 100 ml of chicken blood and mix well, then let it cook for another 2 minutes.

Remove the bay leaf and parsley sprig before serving; adjust vinegar to taste, adding 4 tablespoons or more if desired.

If you prefer less sauce, use less water; the water should be between 3 to 4 times the volume of the rice.
