I really enjoy this recipe since I love saffron. Have found that I need to double the amount of saffron and make sure the strands adhere to meaty parts of the wings in order to get the most flavor from it. Makes for an easy game day recipe and goes great with Caesar salad!

I'm not really a fan of this recipe. IMO the saffron did NOT add any noticeable flavor to the chicken wings worth the expense of the spice. A light dusting of your favorite cajun seasoning and hot sauce prior to cooking is a better bang for your buck. This comment is not in any way meant to be disrespectful of Martha Stewart, just a difference of opinion.

I followed the recipe for the saffron roasted chicken wings, and my wings did not approach the nice brown color depicted. Even though the wings were cooked through, I am not too crazy about the taste of the saffron. It tastes like steel to me. Did I do something wrong with the saffron, or is that its taste?
