Steps:
- Place saffron threads into a small bowl and crush them up a bit with a spoon. Add 3 to 4 tablespoons of hot water and stir. Let bloom for about 10 minutes - the water should turn bright yellow/orange. Set aside.
- Season chicken thighs on both sides with about 1 teaspoon salt and freshly cracked pepper.
- Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken thighs and sear on both sides until golden, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove and place on a plate to the side. Add onion to the same skillet and cook until soft and translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in garlic and curry powder and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Pour in chicken stock and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and add saffron mixture. Season with remaining 1 teaspoon salt and freshly cracked pepper. Stir to combine. Return chicken thighs to the skillet, cover, and simmer over low heat for 20 minutes, flipping thighs halfway through cook time. Season to taste and serve with the sauce.

BAKED BONELESS CHICKEN THIGHS WITH BAHARAT
Not your average chicken and potatoes dinner, thanks to one of my favorite spice blends, baharat. A combination of warm spices including cardamom, cinnamon, and coriander, baharat turns these baked boneless chicken thighs into something special! No need to marinate the chicken for hours, either; 15 to 20 minutes at room temperature in the bold Middle Eastern marinade is plenty! Add a big salad like fattoush or a simple tomato salad to start the meal!

Steps:
- Set a rack in the center of your oven and preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Prepare the marinade. In a large mixing bowl, add the lime juice, olive oil, garlic, tomato paste, Baharat, and red pepper flakes. Mix to combine.
- Season the potatoes with kosher salt and toss them with about ¼ cup of the marinade mixture and arrange them, along with the shallots, in the bottom of a lightly oiled baking pan (I used a 9"x13" cast iron pan).
- Place the baking pan with the potatoes and shallots on the center rack of your heated oven. Bake for 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, pat the chicken dry and season on both sides with kosher salt, then add the chicken to the mixing bowl and toss until the chicken is well-coated with the marinade. Set aside for 15 minutes or so.
- Heat a small skillet over medium-high heat and add the sesame seeds. Toss constantly until the seeds gain a little color. This will not take long. Sesame seeds burn very easily, so don't leave them unattended. Set aside once toasted.
- Carefully remove the baking pan from the oven and nestle the chicken between the potatoes and shallots. Return the baking pan to the oven and cook for about 30 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked through.
- Remove from the heat and finish the chicken with a generous sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds and parsley. Enjoy!

Tips:
- Choose the right chicken thighs: Look for thighs that are plump and have a good amount of skin. Bone-in, skin-on thighs are best for this recipe, as they will be more flavorful and juicy.
- Use a flavorful marinade: The marinade is what will give the chicken its flavor, so make sure to use a mixture of spices and herbs that you enjoy. The recipe provided in the article is a great starting point, but you can also experiment with your own combinations.
- Cook the chicken thighs slowly and gently: This will help to ensure that they are cooked through without drying out. You can cook the chicken thighs in the oven, on the stovetop, or on the grill. If you are cooking them in the oven, preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and cook the chicken thighs for about 45 minutes, or until they are cooked through.
- Let the chicken thighs rest before serving: This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making it more tender and flavorful.
Conclusion:
Arabian-style chicken thighs are a delicious and flavorful dish that is perfect for any occasion. Whether you are serving them for a weeknight dinner or a special event, these chicken thighs are sure to be a hit. So next time you are looking for a new and exciting way to cook chicken, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
