      I used free range organic chicken thighs-eight of them and the sugar was reduced to 1/4 cup. There was a decent amount of prep involved so be prepared and have your ingredients and cooking utensils ready. For presentation next time I will garnish the dish with fresh parsley or cilantro as there isn't much color happening. The saffron shouldn't be omitted as one reviewer had mentioned/suggested because what little color there is the saffron adds to the rice besides flavor. Cumin powder sounds like a good addition to the chicken as does a pinch of cinnamon, too. The drained lemon peel water was reused to finish prepping the dish. Served with steamed purple cauliflower. Reviewed for NA*ME tag/April.

      Indeed, this is very tasty. As a word to the wise: it also uses a TON of dishes to prepare it. So if you're not in the mood to do a lot of clean up, this might not be the meal for you. Also, saffron is very hard to find and expensive. I don't believe the meal would be ruined without it.

      I made this dish because we like Afghan food. It was very delicious, but next time I am going to skip the syrup part for the rice. It was just too sweet for us. Otherwise it is a nice meal.
