Instructions
- Combine the onion quarters, lemon juice, saffron threads and olive oil, salt and pepper in the bowl of a food processor. Process until the mixture turns into a smooth paste.
- Marinade chicken cubes with the paste for two hours.
- Position an oven rack 8cm from the broiler and preheat the broiler. Have ready a broiler pan lined with aluminum foil.
