Moroccan Saffron Chicken
- 1 whole chicken, cut into pieces and skin removed
- 2 large sweet onions, chopped medium
- 1 tablespoon ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon white pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 sticks cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon saffron thread, crumbled
- 1 teaspoon turmeric
- 1 1/2 - 2 teaspoons salt
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- Mix all ingredients in a Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot.
- Cover, and cook over medium to medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, for about 1 hour, or until the chicken is very tender and pulls easily off the bone.
- Do not add water, and be careful not to burn the chicken.
- Reduce the liquids until they are mostly oils.
- Discard the cinnamon sticks, and taste for seasoning. (The sauce should be a bit salty and peppery.).
