For a more intense saffron flavor, bloom the saffron threads in a tablespoon of warm water for 10 minutes before adding them to the marinade. To avoid uneven cooking, ensure the chicken pieces are roughly the same size. Serve these delectable kabobs with a side of fluffy couscous, grilled vegetables, and a dollop of creamy yogurt sauce for a complete and satisfying meal.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a medium bowl, combine the cubed chicken and onion juice. Season generously with salt and pepper. Ensure the crushed saffron threads are fully incorporated. (5 minutes)
02
StepCover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to fully meld. (8 hours - overnight)
03
StepPrepare your outdoor grill by preheating it to high heat. Lightly oil the grill grate to prevent sticking. (5 minutes)
04
StepThread the marinated chicken onto skewers. (10 minutes)
05
StepPlace the skewers on the preheated grill. Frequently brush the kabobs with melted butter as they cook, turning them often to ensure even cooking. (15-20 minutes)
06
StepCook until the chicken is no longer pink inside and the juices run clear when pierced with a fork, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). (5 minutes)
07
StepRemove from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Jun 22, 2025I used onion powder instead of juice because that's what I had on hand. It still tasted great, but I'll try it with fresh juice next time.
