BRAISED LEMON-SAFFRON CHICKEN AND POTATOES



Braised Lemon-Saffron Chicken and Potatoes image

In this comforting braise, bone-in chicken and potatoes slowly cook in a lively lemon-saffron bath until the meat is fall-off-the-bone tender and the potatoes are soft and full of flavor. Most of the work in this one-pot dinner happens in the oven, so you can rest or multitask as it cooks. Serve it with rice and spoon the pan juices over top, or with toasted pita to soak up the rich, lemony broth. The whole peppercorns taste delicious and soften in both texture and flavor during the cooking process, but if they are too strong for you, leave them out or crack them before cooking. Leftovers are even better the next day, on top of a salad or tucked into a sandwich.

Categories     dinner, poultry, main course

Time 1h45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 heaping teaspoon saffron threads
2 tablespoons hot (not boiling) water
3 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken parts, preferably thighs and drumsticks
1/2 pound yellow or red baby potatoes
3 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons olive oil
Kosher salt and black pepper
3/4 cup fresh lemon juice (from 4 to 6 lemons)
1/2 teaspoon whole black peppercorns (optional)
Cooked rice or toasted pita, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Using a mortar and pestle (or the bottom of a spoon and a bowl), grind the saffron threads into a powder as best you can. Add the 2 tablespoons hot water and stir to combine. Set aside.
  • Place the chicken in a 9-by-13-inch roasting pan or baking dish. Cut large potatoes into 1-inch pieces and add to the pan. Drizzle the chicken and potatoes with the oil, then season well with salt and pepper.
  • Add the lemon juice to the saffron water, mix to combine, then pour over the chicken and potatoes, stirring to coat. Arrange the chicken skin-side down. Sprinkle evenly with the whole black peppercorns, if using, then cover tightly with foil. (It's OK if everything is close together.)
  • Cook until the meat is tender and easily pulled from the bone, and the potatoes are soft, about 1 1/2 hours. During the last 15 minutes, remove the foil, flip the chicken, stir the potatoes and cook for 15 minutes more, uncovered, to reduce some of the liquid.
  • Season with black pepper and serve with rice or pita to soak up the lemony juices.

SAFFRON-ROASTED CHICKEN WINGS



Saffron-Roasted Chicken Wings image

Saffron brings an unexpected burst of flavor to traditional roasted chicken wings.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Appetizers     Finger Food Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Juice of 1 lemon
1/4 teaspoon saffron
6 whole chicken wings
Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top of the foil; set aside.
  • In a small saucepan, combine olive oil, butter, lemon juice, and saffron. Heat over low heat, stirring occasionally, until butter is melted and mixture is combined.
  • Arrange chicken wings on rack and brush with half of the saffron mixture. Season with salt and pepper. Roast for 20 minutes. Turn wings over and brush again. Cook until wings are browned and cooked through, 10 to 15 minutes more.

Tips:

  • Use fresh saffron. Fresh saffron has a more intense flavor than dried saffron. If you can't find fresh saffron, you can use dried saffron, but you will need to use more of it.
  • Toast the saffron before using it. Toasting the saffron will help to release its flavor and aroma. To toast the saffron, heat a small skillet over medium heat. Add the saffron and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the saffron is fragrant.
  • Use a good quality olive oil. A good quality olive oil will help to enhance the flavor of the chicken wings. Look for an olive oil that is extra virgin and has a fruity flavor.
  • Season the chicken wings generously. Season the chicken wings with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. You can also add other seasonings, such as paprika, cumin, or cayenne pepper.
  • Roast the chicken wings at a high temperature. Roasting the chicken wings at a high temperature will help to create a crispy skin and juicy meat. Roast the chicken wings at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken wings are cooked through.

Conclusion:

Saffron roasted chicken wings are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. The saffron gives the chicken wings a beautiful golden color and a slightly floral flavor. The chicken wings are also crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. Serve the saffron roasted chicken wings with your favorite dipping sauce, such as honey mustard or ranch dressing.
