Begin by browning the thighs in a pan with butter and oil. Pour in the brandy and let it evaporate over high heat. Continue cooking for about an hour, reducing the heat to low. If it seems too dry, add a little hot broth. Season to taste.

Meanwhile, dissolve the saffron in the hot broth.

Once the chicken is cooked, add the flour and pour in a ladle of broth.

Mix everything together, add the cream and a little chopped parsley. Season with salt.

Let the chicken simmer for a few minutes. The saffron chicken is ready to serve.
