Chicken Tikka (چکن تکہ)

Chicken Tikka is a popular Indian dish featuring juicy and flavorful grilled chicken. The dish involves marinating boneless, skinless chicken thighs in a blend of plain yogurt and aromatic spices, including garam masala, paprika, turmeric, and cumin. The marinated chicken is then skewered and grilled to achieve a slightly charred finish, offering a delightful mix of smokiness and spice. Ideal for both barbecues and family dinners, Chicken Tikka is visually appealing with its vibrant colors and tantalizing aroma, making it a memorable addition to any meal.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 lbs chicken thighs, boneless, skinless
  • 1 cup plain yogurt
  • 2 tbsp ginger garlic paste
  • 1 tbsp garam masala
  • 1 tbsp paprika
  • 1 tsp turmeric
  • 1 tsp cumin powder
  • 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp oil

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine plain yogurt, ginger garlic paste, garam masala, paprika, turmeric, cumin powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and lemon juice to create the marinade.
  2. Add the chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring they are thoroughly coated. Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 1 hour in the refrigerator to absorb the flavors.
  3. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, approximately 400°F (200°C).
  4. Thread the marinated chicken onto skewers, leaving a small gap between each piece for even cooking. Lightly brush the chicken with oil to prevent sticking.
  5. Grill the skewers for 15-20 minutes, turning them occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has a slightly charred appearance.
  6. Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes. Serve warm with naan and mint chutney for a delicious meal.
