Before cooking paella, you are going to need a proper sized paella pan and a large enough heat source. If your stove top is not large enough, you can even use your oven, though it is a bit more time-consuming. The best way to use your pan is going to be with a paella burner or over an open fire pit. Gas powered paella burners are great for grilling and cooking outdoors in general. Cooking with a paella pan is a slightly different experience than with a regular pan. They are lighter, thinner, and absorb heat much faster than other pans. With that in mind, here is our list for the top 3 best chicken paella recipes for beginners:
