  • Prep Time: 10 minutes
  • Total Time: 1 1/2 hours

Ingredients

  • 4 to 6 pieces bone-in chicken, such as legs and thighs
  • Juice from 1/2 lemon
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 medium yellow onions, thinly sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 1/4 teaspoon saffron threads
