Notes
- You can make these ahead of time and it actually intensifies the flavour leaving them in the fridge for a few hours.
- If you are using wooden skewers, make sure you soak them for at least 30 minutes before using, to stop them from burning.
- Try to cut the chicken pieces in to even sizes so they all cook at the same rate.
- Make sure you don't squash all the chicken pieces together, as they won't cook evenly. They should only be just touching.
- These are fairly mild, so if you prefer things spicier then add some more chilli powder to the seasoning.
- Some cubes on paneer go really well on these skewers.
- For extra flavour, add a couple of cloves of crushed garlic to the marinade.
- Chicken Tikka can be cooked in an Air Fryer if you have one - take a look at our Air Fryer Chicken Tikka recipe.
- If you don't want to make the spice blend yourself, you could just use 4 tablespoon of tikka seasoning instead.
- The chicken should be marinated for at least 30 minutes, but 4 hours would be ideal.
