Chicken Fricassee

Instructions:

Place chicken, 1-1/2 teaspoons allspice, 3 teaspoons salt, and onion in large pot and add enough water to cover. Simmer for 1-1/2 hours. Prick the chourico (to release more flavor), add to stewing chicken, and continue simmering. Bring rice and soaking water to a simmer, uncovered; add Assaftoa, 1 teaspoon allspice, and 1 teaspoon salt, and cook uncovered for 20 to 25 minutes, or until tender. Do not stir rice (or it will become sticky). If more liquid is needed while the rice cooks, ladle in some broth from the chicken pot and replace what was removed from there with water. When the rice is done, transfer it to a large serving dish, arrange the chicken and chourico on top, and serve.
