Tandoori Tikka

Serves: 6

It is barbecue season so I thought I would give you a new recipe to use on your grill. This tikka comes out brown instead of the usual red. The taste is different, yet very nice! As always, make deep BBQ cuts in the legs and thighs before marination. This helps the marinade seep into the chicken and you get the flavor in each and every bite. Here I have served it with paratha, tamarind chutney and a salad. You can have it with anything you like. This recipe makes 12 pieces in total but you can always multiply it depending on how much you are making. Also, I prefer to separate the thighs from the legs as I find that it cooks faster and there’s no wastage. Kids find it really easy to just grab a chicken leg and eat it. It is very important not to overcook the chicken as that is what makes it dry. Also never barbecue it on low heat as that will also dry it out. If you are not going to be having it immediately, then cover with foil and heat up in the oven on 400F for 15-20 mins.

What you Need:

12 pieces chicken (legs and thighs separated)
4 tbsp Kissan Tandoori Tikka Masala
1/3 cup yogurt
¼ cup Canola Oil
Salt to taste
1 tbsp ginger/garlic paste

How To:

1.       In a large bowl, mix the Kissan tandoori tikka masala, yogurt, canola oil, salt and ginger/garlic paste.
2.       Wash and drain the chicken legs and thighs.
3.       Dip each piece of chicken in the marinade and coat well. Put the marinated pieces in a separate bowl.
4.       Once all the pieces have been marinated, cover and refrigerate overnight.
5.       Take out the chicken about 1 hour before putting on the barbecue.
6.       Heat up the grill for at least 10 mins before putting the chicken on it.
7.       Grill on high for 5 mins on each side before turning to medium and cooking for another 30 mins or so. Juices should run clear.
8.       Take out and place in a large oven proof dish and cover with foil. Serve after 15 mins.

ENJOY!
