#### Instructions
1- **Prep the Marinade:**  
   - In a small bowl, combine the juice and zest of one lemon, minced garlic, saffron threads, salt, and black pepper.
   - Stir well to blend the flavors.

2- **Marinate the Chicken:**  
   - Place the cubed chicken in a large ziplock bag or bowl.
   - Pour the saffron-lemon marinade over the chicken. Add olive oil and honey to the mix.
   - Seal the bag or cover the bowl, shake well to ensure even coating, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for maximum flavor.

3- **Skewer the Chicken:**  
   - If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for about 30 minutes to prevent burning.
   - Thread the marinated chicken cubes onto the skewers, leaving a little space between each piece to ensure even cooking.

4- **Grill the Skewers:**  
   - Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
   - Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has a nice char.

5- **Garnish and Serve:**  
   - Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes.
   - Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
