About Jujeh Kabab

Jujeh Kabab is a Persian dish of chicken pieces marinated in saffron, yogurt, lemon juice and onion, then grilled on skewers over charcoal. "Jujeh" means young chicken.

The saffron gives the chicken a golden color and a delicate aroma, while the yogurt and lemon make it tender. The pieces are brushed with butter during grilling.

It is served with fluffy saffron rice, grilled tomatoes, raw onion and sumac. Jujeh kabab is one of the most popular kababs in Iran, often eaten at family gatherings and picnics.
