This Air Fryer Low Carb Persian Joojeh Kabobs Grilled Saffron Chicken is aromatic, easy, and very family-friendly. It's really perfect for kids. Joojeh kabobs are traditionally made with boneless, skinless chicken breast, but I think it's actually juicier if you use chicken thighs.

Make the Saffron Water

1. In a mortar and pestle, grind together equal parts of saffron and sugar. You're doing this for two reasons. One, it extends the use of the saffron by flavoring the sugar with the aroma and essence. Two, once it is ground up fine, it dissolves in water more easily. 2. Use about 1/2 teaspoon of this powder mixed with 1 cup of hot water to give you a saffron water you can use to flavor lots of things!
