How to Make Andalucian Pinchitos Morunos Moorish Saffron Meat Skewers
- In a large bowl, whisk together the saffron threads dissolved in 1/4 cup warm water, olive oil, paprika, cumin, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper.
- Add the chicken pieces to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, for maximum flavor.
- Thread the marinated chicken onto skewers. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes prior to prevent burning.
- Preheat your grill, griddle, or large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Grill or pan-fry the skewers for 5-7 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through and nicely charred.
- Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes before serving.
- Serve immediately with a tomato and parsley salad, flatbreads, and pickles. Enjoy your authentic taste of Spain!
