Chicken Tikka 串燒雞柳 Indian Tandoori Chicken Tikka is a beloved dish that showcases the vibrant flavors and techniques of Indian cuisine. The preparation starts with boneless chicken pieces, marinated in a mixture of yogurt, lemon juice, and an aromatic blend of spices such as cumin, coriander, turmeric, and garam masala. This marinade infuses the chicken with rich flavors and tenderizes the meat.
The marinated chicken is traditionally cooked in a tandoor, a cylindrical clay oven that reaches high temperatures, giving the chicken its distinctive smoky flavor and slightly charred edges. In a modern kitchen, the chicken can also be grilled or baked to achieve a similar result.
