Ingredients:
For the Chicken:
-
1.5 lbs (700g) boneless chicken thighs (cut into 2-inch pieces)
-
3 tbsp Persian rub (Spiceneasy)
-
½ cup plain yogurt (or ¼ cup olive oil for dairy-free)
-
1 tbsp lemon juice
-
1 large onion, grated (key for tenderness)

2 tbsp butter (melted, for basting)
For Serving:
-
Saffron basmati rice
-
Grilled tomatoes/peppers
-
Sumac for sprinkling
-
Flatbread (lavash or naan)
Instructions:
-
Marinate the Chicken:

Dissolve saffron in hot water. Mix with yogurt, Persian rub, lemon juice, and grated onion.
-
Coat chicken and marinate 4+ hours (overnight best).

Thread chicken onto metal or soaked wooden skewers.
-
Grill over medium-high heat 4–5 mins per side, basting with melted butter.
-
-
Serve:

Why This Recipe Stands Out:
