Chicken Tikka Recipe with step by step pictures. Chicken pieces marinated in a yogurt, spices and cooked till tender and juicy in oven, tandoor or tawa.
Spicy Chicken tikka recipe
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.

You say grill and bake both. when you say grill do you mean the top grill option? or do you mean bake only?
Aarthi
@Meeta Chaturvediyou have to grill the chicken, on top grill option.
