This is delicious. It has a nice authentic Persian flavor. I used a pound of chicken breasts cut into chunks and then added dashes of garlic and onion powders to the marinade. Instead of putting the minced onion into the marinade, I cut up a red onion and alternated pieces of onion with the chicken on skewers and grilled it that way. Thanks for sharing this!

This is good. I used a whole baby chicken which I kept whole and roasted in the oven along with Middle Eastern coal for added flavour. I marinated approximately 2 1/2 hours. I used extra virgin olive oil, Iranian saffron (but I have a feeling it was fake (Spanish dyed red), sea salt,freshly ground black pepper, plus the rest of the ingredients. I did it in the oven at 350F then changed it to broil after a while, doing the breast side last. I served this on a bed of recipe#472866, along with recipe#387418 and recipe#339985. I'd make a different whole chicken recipe next time.
