Grilled Chicken Tikka

Summertime is Grilling time with everyone’s favorite “Indian Chicken Tikka Kababs”. Many of us grew up eating these in rolls/wraps or just simply with green chutney and laccha pyaaz(thin sliced red onions). Who can forget those succulent, juicy and super flavorful bites wanting more and more? That perfect charcoal flavor imbued by the burning flames to give that characteristic char. Oh so delicious…Presented here one of most our requested summertime dish items: The Peshawari Kabab and The Chicken Tikka Kabab served on a sizzler platter. You cannot go wrong with these

Pro Tip: To ensure the chicken is properly grilled, you should set up a two (2) temperature zone cooking grill: Direct and indirect heating. This cooks the chicken from the inside and gives it a characteristic char on the outside. Visit our community Facebook page for more information.

  • 1 TSP Salt

  • 1 TBSP Lemon Juice

  • 1 TSP Red chili powder

  • 2nd Marination

  • 1 TSP REd chilli powder

  • 1 TSP Garam Masala

  • 1 TSP Rock salt

  • 1 TSP White Vinegar

Directions

  • Mixing ingredients of 1st Marination, and rub over cubed pieces of chicken.
  • Leave at room temperature for 20 mis
  • Add in all the ingredients of 2nd Marination
  • Mix and rub over chicken pieces (now having sat in room temperature for atleast 20 mins)
  • Leave at room temperature for 30 mins, then refrigerate for 4 to 8 hours preferably overnight.
  • Next day (or after atleast 4 hours) put the meat on Skewers
  • Put them on stove top grill, and grill for about 20 ~ 30 mins, while basting with oil and marinates
  • Alternatively for best results, grill them over charcoal grill. See our video fo How to Grill on Charcoal.

Notes

  • The key to this recipe is the time given for marination and to soak its flavors in chicken. the chicken kabab shown here is grilled on a charcoal fire and that gives the BEST tasting dish. But if you want a quick turnaround, then cooking on a stove top grill is the best.
