I don't think you know what saffron is, were talking about the yellow oil colored liquid you are frying the chicken in..that's NOT Saffron unless you're boiling the chicken in water with some saffron which you should probably mention for obvious reasons of it looks like oil. Probably fake saffron.
Good job Sherlock, that’s exactly what I did; saffron and water. It’s an old recipe that I’ve used pretty much all my life. Thanks for sticking your nose where it doesn’t belong.
