What it is

Tender chicken pieces (often bone-in) braised in a fragrant, golden saffron-infused sauce with onions, garlic, and a delicate blend of spices. The sauce is typically rich and savory, designed to be enjoyed as a main course without starches.

Key ingredients

Chicken pieces (thighs, drumsticks), onions, garlic, ginger, saffron threads, turmeric, cumin, coriander, black pepper, cooking oil, chicken broth, lemon juice, salt.

If you order it anyway

Ensure no rice is served. Confirm the sauce is not thickened with flour or cornstarch and contains no added sugar. Request extra low-carb vegetables if available.

Watch out for

Onions and small amounts of tomato paste (if used) contribute carbs; risk of hidden sugar for flavor balancing; typically served with rice.
