Put on gloves and season the whole chicken with 2 tablespoons of olive oil.

Use Marshall Creek seasoning, including onion powder, garlic powder, hot pepper, black pepper, turmeric, and cumin, about 1 teaspoon of each except for cumin which is 0.5 teaspoon.

Mix the seasoning into the chicken until satisfied with the look.

Chop 1.5 onions, half a red bell pepper, and 3 carrots for the dish.

Wash hands and heat 1/4 cup of olive oil in a large pot.

Ensure the chicken is at room temperature and lay it skin side down in the pot to sear.

Brown the chicken in batches, cooking until seared, about 5 minutes.

Add chopped onions and bell pepper to the pot and cook for another 5 minutes to soften them.

Add additional onion powder, garlic powder, cumin, black pepper, and 1 teaspoon of chicken powder to the vegetables.

Wash 2 cups of long-grain rice thoroughly to remove starch.

After washing, add the rice to the pot with the vegetables and cook for about 5-6 minutes.

Add the chopped carrots and a little black pepper, cooking for another 3 minutes.

Add the seared chicken back into the pot with the rice and vegetables.

Pour in 2 cups of chicken stock and stir to combine.

Season with more onion powder, garlic powder, black pepper, and chicken powder to taste.

Let the mixture cook for 10 minutes, then taste the broth.
