Chicken Tikka Recipe

Preparation and Cooking

1. 1

   Marinate the Chicken

   In a large bowl, combine the yogurt, garam masala, ground cumin, ground coriander, turmeric powder, red chili powder, ginger-garlic paste, lemon juice, and salt. Mix well. Add the chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.

2. 2

   Preheat the Grill

   Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a charcoal grill, ensure the coals are glowing red with a light coating of ash.

3. 3

   Grill the Chicken

   Thread the marinated chicken onto skewers. Brush the grill grates with vegetable oil to prevent sticking. Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has beautiful grill marks.

4. 4

   Serve

   Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes. Serve hot with naan or rice, and your favorite chutney or salad.
