Chicken Tikka made in Oven

Hai Friends...Hope you had a great day...

Chicken tikka is a famous dish all over India...Traditionally it is made in tandoor oven,But I made it in normal oven...It still tasted great...

The main thing you should remember is the marination of the chicken...I marinated over night so the flavour went deep into the chicken...You could let it marinate upto 2 days...

You could serve this as it is...But I made Chicken tikka masala with this and served it with rice...I will post it tomorrow...

Hot Chicken Tikka with a squeeze of lemon juice taste like heaven...My mouth is watering went I write this post...Ok anyway here you go for the recipe..

Ingrediants:

Chicken Breast- ½ kg

 

For Marinate:

Curd-1 cup

Red chilli powder-1 tblspn

Garam masala powder-2 tsp

Turmeric powder-1 tsp

Cardamom powder-1 tsp

Salt to taste

Lemon juice-2 tblspn

Red Food Colouring-a pinch

For Basing:

Lemon juice-2 tblspn

Oil-2 tblspn

Chat masala powder-1 tsp

Method:

Mix the marinate ingrediants together..Now add in chopped chicken pieces and mix well..

Let this marinate in the fridge over night..

Preheat the oven to the highest temperature..Mine went to 250°C(500°F)..

Take the chicken out of the fridge before 30 mins so that it comes to room temperature and cooks evenly

.

Arrange it in a foil lined baking tray..

Place the tray in the top rack and grill the chicken for 10 mins..

When 10 mins is over take the chicken out and apply the rest of the marinate over this and place it back in the oven..

Now mix lemon juice, oil, chat masala powder together for basing the chicken

After 10 mins,take the tray out...Turn the chicken over and base it with the lemon liquid and place it back in the oven.

Cook the chicken for 10 mins until the chicken is cooked and gets a little chared around the edges..

Remove this and serve hot..
