Marinating chicken adds so much more flavor than seasoning just before cooking. It also gives spices a chance to bloom and infuse as it all sits together. Marinating also helps keep the chicken moist while getting the most flavor out of every bit of seasoning. To plan ahead, the chicken can be marinated up to 3 days in advance.

Directions

In a bowl, mix the chicken, salt, Isphahan, and olive oil well to coat. Leave the chicken to marinate 3 hours and up to 3 days before cooking. Note, the chicken can also be cooked right away without marination.
Heat a heavy bottom skillet with the oil until shimmering. Sear each piece of chicken until golden brown and cooked through, remove the chicken to a platter as they are ready.
Turn the heat to medium low and add the butter, preserved lemon, and sage with 2 tablespoons of water, swirling and scraping up any browned bits in the pan back into the sauce.
Spoon the sauce over the warm platter of chicken and enjoy.
