For a more intense flavor, marinate the chicken overnight. If you don't have saffron, you can omit it, but it adds a unique touch. Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to your liking for desired spiciness. Serve with grilled vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad for a complete meal. Consider using fresh herbs instead of dried for a brighter, more vibrant flavor.
