Persian Chicken Dishes

Saffron, citrus, onions, and aromatic spices give Persian chicken recipes their distinctive fragrance without overwhelming the main ingredient. Jujeh kebab is popular for its golden saffron marinade, while zereshk polo ba morgh pairs tender chicken with barberry rice. Chicken khoresh offers another style, simmering poultry in a carefully seasoned sauce for a comforting home-cooked meal.
