IRANIAN CHICKEN WITH TURMERIC, SAFFRON, AND LEMON JUICE



Iranian Chicken With Turmeric, Saffron, and Lemon Juice image

I love the recipes found on My Persian Kitchen, as they are authentic and delicious Iranian dishes. I chose this one, "Mitra's Sunshine Chicken" not only because it had my name in it, but because I remember my step mother having made this dish and I absolutely love it! The flavors are elegant and delicious. From My Persian Kitchen.

Time 45m

Yield 5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

10 chicken drumsticks (you can use any chicken, but it is best made with chicken legs)
1 large onion
1 teaspoon turmeric
1/2 cup water
1 tablespoon saffron mixed with water
1/2 cup lemon juice

Steps:

  • Rough chop the onion and place in a large pot.
  • Add chicken on top.
  • Season with salt and pepper.
  • Add turmeric.
  • Add 1/2 cup of water.

  • Add saffron mixed with water and lemon juice to the water remaining in your pot. Adjust seasonings if needed.

IRANIAN CHICKEN WITH RICE (MORGH POLOU)



Iranian Chicken With Rice (Morgh Polou) image

This is a typical Iranian recipe using fruit with a meat or chicken. The saffron gives it a golden color and the scent while it is cooking is wonderful. It is not "spicy hot" but it is "spicy flavorful". There is a special way to cook Iranian rice but I have simplified this recipe using plain cooked rice - I prefer Basmati Rice I made this recipe using skinless boneless breasts - they turned out too dry I recommend that you use the whole chicken, skin on for this recipe

  • One of the most popular poultry dishes of Iran, joojeh kabab probably features on the menu of every Persian restaurant in the world.
  • Traditionally made using poussin, what really makes this dish so special is the way in which the chicken is marinated in yogurt and lemon juice, which breaks down the fibres and tenderizes the flesh beautifully.
  • The addition of saffron and onions creates the signature flavour that makes this a much-loved dish.
  • This is my simplified version of the recipe, which can be made at home in a conventional oven if, like me, you don’t have a barbecue or flame grill.
