Ingredients:

Serving

1 whole chicken, cut into pieces and skin removed
2 large sweet onions, chopped medium
1 tbsp ground ginger
1 tsp white pepper
1/2 tsp black pepper
2 sticks cinnamon
1 tsp saffron thread, crumbled
1 tsp turmeric
1 1/2-2 tsp salt
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Directions:

Mix all ingredients in a Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot.
Cover, and cook over medium to medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, for about 1 hour, or until the chicken is very tender and pulls easily off the bone.
Do not add water, and be careful not to burn the chicken.
Reduce the liquids until they are mostly oils.
Discard the cinnamon sticks, and taste for seasoning. (The sauce should be a bit salty and peppery.).
