This chicken tikka marinade requires at least 24 hours to work its magic but preferably 48 hours. I like to use it on skinless boneless chicken thighs because the end result is more succulent than breast and I always cook the whole thigh on the kebab skewer but at the end of the day it’s your call. If you want to use diced breast then go right ahead marinade!
There’s enough marinade here to cover about ten thighs.
Ingredients:-
2 Onions
5 cloves garlic
250ml or 2 cups natural yoghurt
3 fresh red chillies
2 teaspoons ground ginger
2 teaspoons turmeric
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
Juice of 1 lemon
Method
Pop the peeled onions, garlic and chillies into a food processor and blitz until they form a rough paste, add the remaining ingredients and mix again thoroughly and the marinade is done.
Place the chicken thighs into the tikka marinade, cover with stretch wrap and refrigerate for 24 to 48 hours and then you’re ready to go.
Cook for 10 minutes and you’ll have bbq chicken tikka kebabs to die for. Serve up with
