Persian Grilled Chicken Recipe

Recipe By EatingWell

This easy grilled chicken recipe owes its tenderness to an overnight soak in a yogurt-lemon juice marinade and its soulful flavor to saffron and onion. A healthy drizzle of saffron-infused butter before serving adds an extra layer of richness. Serve with aromatic rice with pistachios and torshi, central asian pickles available at persian and middle eastern grocery stores.
