Cooking Steps:

Cut the chicken into small pieces, removing the bone if preferred, and place in a shallow bowl. Mix the grated onion, garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, paprika and saffron, and season with salt & pepper.

Pour the marinade over the chicken, turning the chicken so that all the pieces are covered evenly. Cover the bowl loosely with clear film and leave in a cool place to marinate for at least 2 hours.

Thread the chicken onto long, preferably metal skewers. Cook for 10-15 minutes on a barbecue or under a moderately hot grill, turning occasionally. Ensure that the chicken is cooked all the way through by inserting the point of a sharp knife to check that the juices are clear.

Serve with pitta bread, lettuce and tzatziki.
