Recipe Yield: 4 servings
Overall Cooking Time: Around 25 minutes
Marinate Chicken
- To prepare the chicken, start by thoroughly washing and cleaning the chicken pieces. Dry them off completely afterwards. Using a fork or a knife, create small piercings or incisions in the 750 g of chicken to help the marinade penetrate, then set them aside.
- For the marinade, combine 1/2 cup of yogurt in a mixing bowl with 1 tablespoon of oil, 2 teaspoons of ginger garlic paste, 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon powder, 2 teaspoons of black pepper, and salt according to your taste preference. If you like a bit more heat and flavor, feel free to add 1 teaspoon of chili flakes and 1 teaspoon of kasuri methi powder.
- Use a beater to thoroughly mix the yogurt and spices together until the mixture becomes a smooth, fine paste; this should take about 2-3 minutes. Next, stir in a pinch of red food coloring and 2 tablespoons of lemon juice to enhance the flavor and color.
- Add the prepared chicken pieces to the bowl, using your hands to ensure they are well-coated with the marinade. Once coated, cover the bowl and let the chicken marinate. For the best results, let it sit for at least 30 minutes at room temperature or, for deeper flavor infusion, marinate in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours.
- This process ensures that the chicken absorbs all the spices, making it flavorful and juicy when cooked.
Cook on Grilled Mode
- Prepare the chicken by piercing them onto grilling sticks.
- Apply a generous amount of oil or butter over the surface of the chicken pieces.
- Grill the chicken for 12 minutes in grilled mode.
- After 12 minutes, carefully remove the chicken tikka from the grill and flip them over.
- Grease the other side with oil or butter and grill for an additional 10 minutes, or until cooked through.
- Once done, remove the chicken tikka from the grill and garnish with freshly squeezed lemon juice, sliced onions, and a side of chutney.
- Serve hot and enjoy the burst of flavors in every bite, with or without chapati or naan.
This easy grilled chicken tikka recipe is sure to become a favorite in your household. Experiment with different marinades and spices to customize it to your taste preferences. Happy grilling!
