I want to say thank you for teaching me to cook. Thanks to your teaching methods, I may not be known as even a decent cook, but, when it comes to my Puerto Rican food, everyone wants more.
Thank you so much! My father said it came out amazing!!! He was the cook in the family and made the best Spanish dishes. born in Puerto Rico and raised in the Bronx, its hard to impress him but he was so impressed and I was proud of those skills you brought out in me. your videos are amazing and I did my Pernil for tomorrow, used your sofrito recipe and Pernil recipe.. I'm on a roll because of your videos. Thank you so much. looking forward to watching more!!! buen provecho!!
I have watched a lot of your videos. I love the way you organize things, speak very slow and clearly, and how clean you are. Your recipes are amazing. I am puertorican and an avid cook of our food, but I get to see new ways and ideas on your videos. Keep the videos coming. Gracias
+Aurea Camacho Thank you so much.. Means the world to me.. This is why I do it.. For everyone to learn in their on way.. I love you for following .. Thank You
Here in 2024 still watching your videos ❤ I remember moving away from my Puerto Rican family and really learning how to cook on my own I watched your videos a lot several years later and I still watch it 😊
Great job, it is nice to see young men cooking. A lot of our young women are not following our cooking tradition, so keep up the good work you Freakin Rican.
+Jose Torres LOL Freakin Rican that's rite.. There are so many freakin ricans out there. Im doing this for all of them .. keeping our traditions alive.. I love you for following. Thank YOU
I like watching you cook. I'm 72 years old and I make this arroz con pollo in a similar way .Both My mother and I always washed our rice. It does taste differently. I also use very little salt when we use salted pork , ham, capers, tomato sauce and other products in our cooking.I also use "adobo" for the chicken a few hours before cooking.Anyway I enjoy watching you cooking and teaching us new ways of making our best dishes come together. !Buen provecho desde San Juan!
I’m obsessed with your videos. I’m Nuyorican but moved to Colorado 3 years ago and I’m just missing my Puerto Rican food. I’m slowly doing your recipes here and love em so much! Thank you for the clear instructions 🤗
Thank you so much freakin rican! This was the first time I got to make arroz con pollo and I am so pleased with how it's turned out. I never got to learn my abuelita's way of preparing this dish and my cousin is the only one who knows really but she's never had time to show me. Now I can finally start making more spanish dishes and add my own style to them. Thanks so much!!
I have made your arroz con gandules (and it IS amazing; one of my sons loves the pegao [just like my late husband]) and now it's time to make your arroz con pollo. Thank you for the recipe.
okay so I'm Trinidadian and my boyfriend is Puerto Rican and I've been dating him for a little over a year-and-a-half and since I've started watching your videos I'm learning to cook the food he loves and I can't wait to cook this for him. Thank you so much for these videos , you couldn't make it any easier for me to learn how to cook food from PR.🤗 seriously I don't think you understand:).... THANK YOU👌
This was my favorite dish growing up. My friend Luis's Mom used to make me eat every time I visited......I became almost a family member! Now I can make it at home Thanks for sharing!!

My pernil on the grill is bananas lol. Great recipe and it's all in the sofrito and the sauté! Saludos paisano.

Hola! Just finished watching your video How to make arroz con pollo. It looks delicioso n I’m going to try it. I’m a 72 years old Puerto Rican and can’t cook arroz con pollo para nada. Don’t get me wrong I conceder myself a good cook but this is one dish I just can’t get right. It comes out sticky! (Amogollao) n I too wash my rice just la costumbre 😜 I don’t know how many cancer survivors you have as fans but this is one that admires your style I send my son to visit ur restaurant when I saw you on Facebook. Again thank you for ur freakin Rican way of cooking la comida Puertorriqueña. God Bless You.
Cada vez que usted Cósima se me hace agua la boca. Dios lo bendiga y muchas gracias por las recetas que tienen una explicación perfecta, nueva mente gracias. Mi nombre es Delma y soy de Bolivia, usted se da cuenta me encanta su forma de cocinar, y todos estos sabores son nuevos para mi .
Hello freakin Rican. I use most of your recipes and loved everyone they were so delicious and easy to make with your step by step videos thank you. But do you have a video for making white cheese?
Hi Chef, we love your cooking channel, My wife is Peruvian and we eat many, many different Peruvian dishes. We are enjoying a lot of your recipes and they are rico. I was looking at your soffrito, it looks like either pesto or chimichurri, made with basil and parsley, and a few others. What is the basis of your soffrito, if you don't mind me asking. We are here in Lima, Peru right now, because of this virus thingie, we've here since Dec., the gov't here stopped international travels back in February, and we were scheduled home in April. Anyways, I love this arroz con Pollo dish you prepared today, and was wondering what could I use for our soffrito. Thank you have a great day, and see you in the kitchen..Chefbob
I worked with someone who was from Cuba, he brought a similar dish in. It had a little bit of Mayo mixed in...game changer!!! Now I always add a little Mayo. It adds moisture.
I make this really good but the way you do it is a little different I can't wait to try it it looks really bomb so delicious so much damn flavor in every step 💯thanks for sharing
+frances abreu Thank you . I enjoy what I do. Its my passioin. I love you for following. Check us out on our facebook page. facebook.com/thefreakinricanrestaurant

Hey Freakin Rican! I just want to tell you that I am freaking obsessed with all of your videos! I just made pigs feet last night and I want to know if you have a video for just basic white rice? I do know how to make it but I am trying to perfect mine. I am married to a Puerto Rican myself for 25 years now and for 25 years now I have not been able to perfect my classic white rice and I really want to be able to make the perfect white rice to go with my pigs feet… So if you have a perfect way to make a white rice please share with me… Thank you and thank you so much for your amazing videos you are so awesome
Hi Ricky, please teach me how do you measure water into the rice. I had try to master the measuring of the water and it always didn't come out great. Rice always came out so wet. I would love to cook this dish again and this time I must do it right. Thank you
Hi Maggie. I learned to make rice from my mom. For every cup of rice you add 1 cup of water. For example 3 cups of rice / 3 cups of water. I normally add 1/2 cup more. I hope this helps. Go Bless🍚
For every cup of rice you add 1 Cup of water and at the end half a cup more example 3 cups of rice 3 and 1/2 cups of water one cup of rice one and a half cups of water and it will come out perfect
Cooking Ham is just 4oz of diced Ham Steak. The other pork is 4oz Salt Pork. HEAVILY salted pork belly available in most Grocery stores. You can substitute Smoked Bacon for the Salt Pork.

More recipes. I am loving your cooking
Looks so good! 😁 Ginna try it
Question for you, If I wanted to add gandules would that change the receipe? If so what adjustments would I need to make?
What kind of rice did you use?
How are you BeautyiniBeholder. I used extra long grain rice. Hope you enjoyed!
+The Freakin Rican Restaurant Your recipes look amazing! can I use olive oil instead of canola oil? I think olive oil has a lower burn point
I love your videos and your smile, could you please write down the recipes to make it easier to print for my file?.
can you try making arroz con pollo in a slow cooker ?

I love your technique of cooking and, to each his/her own, but I'm a girl who washes her rice before I cook it.
can you use a caldero for this?
Did you raise the ri e?
that's one of my favorite dishes with a little red kidney beans on the side as ideal
Perfect. Your channel when I make this. : )
Thank you.
Thanks, another great recipe...allow space for :expansion...save on clean-up!
+D Perkins Thank you for watching . Appreciate it!
Where can I find that pan you are using?
Hi, is this long grain rice?
So that flavor was amazing but what kind of rice did you use ?! I used regular white rice and it was still hard but jasmine rice cooks so fast?!?!?
I just watched this Derek making it today , AMazing, one question, does camera guy get a taste too? 😎
that sofrito jar his ginourmous!!! LOL..im not mad though!!! i love spanish rice dishes and love the fact that I can always modify
how many servings is this, so I can know how to cut the recipe in half?
What kind of rice did you use
Do you make your own sofrito?
Any difference between frozen Gandules and canned?
Knife skills on point
Hi I would like to know if you know how to cook Salmon in the can? I need a great recipe please! I'm LA Cangri by the way!
Amazing
I need a link to your store to buy sofrito
Love you Thankyou 😍😍😍😍😍
Your marble cutting board is beautiful but it does trash your knives. Did you ever use a bench scraper? They’re just great and has many uses.
I thumbs up before I saw the video. Abuela sent me here so you must be good.
Lo Ely tasty amigo
what kind of pork is that. I've always cooked it without the pork
Cooking Ham is just 4oz of diced Ham Steak. The other pork is 4oz Salt Pork. HEAVILY salted pork belly available in most Grocery stores. You can substitute Smoked Bacon for the Salt Pork.
Hi how are you I haven't seen no new videos are you working on your recipe book please have it out for Christmas love the bronx borica Deanna god bless
