Notes
- The chicken - I usually get chicken tenderloins and cut each one into 2-3 pieces depending on the size. Chicken breast tends to get a little dry. The tenderloins work better. Boneless chicken thighs are good too.
- The food coloring - This is purely optional. Restaurants use it to give that beautiful red color to chicken tikka and I like how it makes the chicken look but not using it will not impact the taste.
- Marinating the chicken - A minimum of 30 minutes is necessary for the marination but you can also marinate the chicken overnight or marinate it and stick it in the freezer till it's time to use it.
