Enjoy this New England favorite at the beach or in your own backyard. With clams, baby potatoes, chicken chorizo, and corn, there's definitely a little something for everyone. Though you have to add the ingredients in lots of stages, all you need is one large stockpot to cook everything in, so putting it all together to entertain a crowd is way easier than you might think. You can also scale this recipe up and divide the ingredients among multiple pots depending on how many people are coming over for dinner.
