Tips
You can remove as much fat from the chicken thighs as you want.
You can use smoked paprika instead of regular paprika.
You can use regular chili powder, but playing with chili powders named after specific chilies is fun and authentic.
You can cook the chorizo right away, freeze it, or let it sit overnight.
Add cayenne pepper to your liking if you prefer things spicy.
This is a Mexican-style chorizo, made raw and cooked crumbled, unlike Spanish-style chorizo which is typically cased and smoked.
