Season the chicken with 1 teaspoon of salt.
Add the remaining 1 teaspoon of salt, oregano, paprika, turmeric, cumin and black pepper to a small bowl. Stir to combine.
Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy pot over medium heat. When the oil is hot, but not smoking, add the chicken.
Cook the chicken for 2-3 minutes. Then turn each piece and cook for another 2-3
minutes to brown on both sides.
Next, add the sausage and onions. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the garlic and cook 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the tomato paste and the prepared seasoning mix to the pot, stir well to combine.
Next, add the white wine and stir, scraping any bits off the bottom of the pan. Cook for 1 minute or until most of the liquid evaporates.
Add the rice, chicken broth, water, and the bay leaf to the pot. Stir well to combine. Raise the heat to high, bring the liquid to a boil, lower heat to medium and simmer for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
We want most of the liquid to cook out. The rice should be seen on the surface and when you stir, it does not sink to the bottom. Lower the heat to low, cover and cook approximately 15 minutes. Give the rice one good stir halfway through the cooking time.
Taste a little bit of the rice. Add salt, if needed. As a reference, we added a couple of pinches of salt to ours.
Raise the heat to medium-low and slowly add the beer, while stirring..
Cover the and cook for 20 minutes. Stir about halfway through the cooking time. Taste the rice, if it’s still not done, lower the heat to low, stir and let it steam another 15 minutes or until done.
Garnish with parsley and serve.
