Excellent and very easy. I loved all the garlic in this chicken recipe, the addition of saffron was great for that added yellow/orange sauce. Made for NZ/AUS Recipe Swap #34

This is our newest favorite chicken recipe. I was wondering if the garlic would be overpowering in this dish, but it was not. I was also pleasantly suprised to find that browning the chicken first and then braising it with a little liquid (I substituted broth for the water) cooked the chicken all the way through without losing its crunchy coating. I'd give this a 10-star if I could. It's that good!!
