Ingredients:  
½ teaspoon saffron
2 cups plain whole-milk yogurt
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
2 ½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
2 ¼ cups flour

Directions:
In a small bowl, combine saffron with 1 tablespoon water and let soak 10 minutes. Place in food processor with yogurt and garlic and purée until smooth and yellow. Place chicken in glass or ceramic bowl; pour yogurt mixture on top, turn to coat; cover and refrigerate at least 3 hours or overnight. In a medium bowl, combine flour, paprika, mint, salt and pepper. Heat a generous half-inch oil in a deep skillet over medium heat. Drop in a bit of bread to test temperature; oil should bubble vigorously. Working in batches to avoid crowding, dredge chicken pieces in flour mixture, then fry until golden brown on both sides, about 5 minutes a side. Remove and drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with salt and serve immediately, topped with walnuts and lemon wedges.
