How To Make Chicken Tikka

Step 1

Place the chicken tikka in a large bowl and squeeze the lemon juice over them and sprinkle with a little salt.

Step 2

Now, whisk the second marinade ingredients together and pour it over the chicken.

Step 3

Cover the chicken pieces with the marinade ensuring the chicken tikka are completely coated with the marinade.

Step 4

Allow to marinaded for six hours or up to 48 hours - the longer the better. If you don't have time to marinate the chicken, 30 minutes or so will still be good.

Step 5

When ready to cook, light a barbecue. Gas barbecues will work but I prefer the flavour of charcoal barbecues.

Step 6

You are ready to grill when you can hold your hand two inches above the grill without it being unbearably hot.

Step 7

Cook the chicken tikka on skewers turning occasionally until the chicken is cooked through and the edges are blackened.
