chicken tikka is one of the most popular chicken starter or appetizer from Indian Cuisine and is
popular across the world. Tikka means a cube or a piece and chicken tikka is a cube of
chicken that is marinated in spiced yogurt mixture called the chicken tikka marinade. Chicken
is left to soak up for few to several hours to tenderize naturally and absorb the flavors. Then
the chicken cubes are grilled in tandoor oven or barbecued.
For a home preparation, making chicken tikka recipe in an oven is convenient, the way I made
them here. If the chicken tikka is made to enjoy as an appetizer, we use gram flour / besan
and if the tikka is made to prepare a chicken tikka masala gravy, then gram flour should not
be used since it alters the taste of the gravy entirely.
To make chicken tikka recipe, food color is often used which I have not. If you are particular
about the color, I suggest using a good Kashmiri red chili powder or paprika which yields a
good vibrant color.
Adding too much of garam masala or spice powder, leaves a bitter taste to the tikkas. So
adjust the quantity slightly to suit the taste. To make the best chicken tikka, always use hung
curd or thick curd that has been drained off well otherwise the tikka doesnt turn out good.

2. Add oil to the marinade. Oil helps to tenderize the chicken when used along with yogurt or
lemon juice.

4. Mix everything well. Set this aside for at least an hour to over night in the fridge. If you have
meat tenderizer, you can use it. But that is optional.

5. When you are about to grill them, soak the skewers for 30 minutes in water to prevent
burning. Preheat the oven to 240 C. Set aside the chicken removing excess marinade. To the
excess marinade add the cubed veggies. Toss them to coat the marinade well.
6. Skew them alternately chicken , onion and capsicum. Grill this for about 20 to 30 minutes.

Hi Marina,
If you are pan frying, then marinating for at least 8 hours is needed otherwise they
may not be soft.
