Joojeh Kabab for Sizdah Bedar – Saffron and Lemon Chicken

Joojeh Kabab for Sizdah Bedar – Saffron and Lemon Chicken is a beloved dish in Iran and beyond, and you’ll love how easy it is to make. First, marinate the chicken in a mixture of yogurt, lemon or lime juice, olive oil, onions, saffron, salt, and pepper. Don’t skip this step is as it infuses the chicken with incredible flavor and makes it tender.

Next, grill the chicken either on a BBQ, in the oven, or in an Airfryer. The marinade not only keeps it juicy but also adds a slightly sweet and tangy taste that makes it irresistible. For this recipe, you’ll be using the oven-grilled method. Make sure to drain the chicken well before grilling and grill it without the marinade to get the perfect texture.

To complete your meal, serve the kabab with wild rice and barberries, grilled tomatoes, and a refreshing Salad Shirazi. In Iran, you’ll find two types of Joojeh Kabab—one with the bone and one without. For this version, you’ll use boneless chicken breast, which absorbs the marinade beautifully and cooks evenly. With these simple steps, you can prepare a delicious and traditional Persian meal that’s perfect for celebrating Sizdah Bedar!
