How to clean the chicken:
Pour cold water on the chicken, add 2tbp salt, squeeze 2 lemons. Leave for 1hour, clean under sink for 3 times
In an electric chopper, mix all the marinade ingredients.
Make 2 or 3 cuts on each side of the chicken thighs. Add 50ml of water to this mixture + 30ml olive oil. Mix well. Marinade the chicken, make sure to put the marinade inside the cuts. Leave it for at least 2 hours, ideally an overnight.
I used a baking sheet, add sliced potatoes 2″, add sliced onions, carrots & other veggies as shown in the video
Add 150ml boiling water to the saffron, leave it for 10mn to give out its flavor & color.
Once u put the veggies, add the chicken. Add some water on the remaining marinade, sprinkle this sauce on the veggies, sprinkle olive oil. Add saffron in the water only on the sides. Add some salt on the veggies. Add the fresh bunch of celintro & parsley.
Cover the pan with parchemin paper and the foil paper on the top & seal well.
Preheated oven 400F bake for 45 min. Remove the cover, leave it for 30 min until the chicken is golden, check if veggies are tender and the sauce thickness u want.
Bon appetit!
