1- Keep the chicken's blood in a bowl with the 3 tbsp of vinegar to prevent it from curdling (ask your local butcher if you prefer an alternative to the chicken's blood)

2- Put the finely chopped onion and garlics on a pan with the olive oil, until they are golden.

3- Join the chicken in medium sized pices and the giblets (except for the liver), the bacon in small pieces, the laurel leaf and the hot chilli (cut in half).

4- Season all with salt and join hot water and let it cook until the chicken is soft.

5- Remove the chicken and join the rice with enough water for it to cook.

6- When the rice is almost done join the blood and the chicken and let it stay on the stove, in low fire.

7- Serve with portuguese red wine and enjoy!
