From the kitchen of New Food of Life by Najmieh Batmanglij.
Very succlent, very easy marianade for chicken. We skewered it and grilled it, though you could easy bake or pan fry in its juices.
In large bowl combine saffron water, lime juice, oilive oil, onions, salt and pepper. Beat well with a fork. Add pieces of chicken and toss well. Cover and mariante for AT LEAST 6 hours and up to 2 days in the fridge. THe longer the better. Turn chicken twice during this period.
When ready, cook chicken as desired (we skewered and grilled).
As a short cut, we used the left over mariande to baste instead of preparing the additional basting sauce which is essentially the same thing as the mariande.
We took the onions out of the marinade and cooked ‘em up in a frying pan. Delicious.
