marination ingredients for chicken tikka
Note
NOTE: The marinate is going to be slightly sour because of the heavy vinegar and lemon content but don’t worry about that because once cooked, this flavor is going to be subdued and work really well with all the other spices.
CAN YOU SUBSTITUTE SOMETHING IN THE MARINADE?
If you don’t want your tikkas to be spicy, you can always skip or decrease the red chili powder. Or if you are short on one of the spices, thats ok, it won’t change the flavor drastically. However vinegar in this case is quite essential. Vinegar is going to act as a meat tenderizer here so you want to have that in your mixture. The oil prevents the chicken from drying out while its in the fridge, so that’s another impor .
raw chicken pieces with cuts in a baking tray
One chicken will give you 4 Tikka cut pieces, 2 thighs and 2 breast pieces. If you are making more than 1 chicken, just double the recipe and you’ll be good to go. Use a good knife and add some cuts to your chicken along the length so that it has deep areas for the marinate to work in.
Go ahead and rub the marinate all over the chicken. Give it a good little massage like the one you would want in a spa. (ugh desperately need a spa day too). Make sure you cover all the nooks and crannies. Once you are done, cover up the chicken with foil or cling wrap or a box lid and keep it in the fridge to marinate.
Well, a minimum of 4 hrs is needed for all the spices to rub in really well. If you are using boneless chicken, you can go ahead and cook it immediately but for chicken with bone, I would recommend a minimum of 4 hrs to an overnight marination duration. The reason is, that this gives vinegar enough time to react with the chicken and tenderize it. It also makes the top layer of the chicken tough so all the juices are sealed inside the chicken piece that gives you a lovely tender Chicken tikka once its cooked.
HOW TO COOK THE CHICKEN TIKKA?
There are 3 ways in which you can prepare your Tikka
On the stove.
Bake in the oven.
BBQ it on an outside grill.
I usually prefer making it on the stove because it’s the easiest method and I don’t really fire up the oven for that. For both cases, baking or cooking on the stove, you are going to braise the chicken at high heat on a grill pan first and then proceed to slow cooking.
tikka on the grill and keep coating it with oil every 5 mins with a brush. Keep turning the tikka everytime you oil it. It will take roughly 20 mins to prepare your chicken this way.
YOU CAN FREEZE THE CHICKEN!
So, let’s say you are someone who likes to meal prep in advance, this recipe is totally for you. On days that you prepare your week’s menu, you can marinate the chicken and freeze it immediately. It can stay in the freezer for up-to 2 months. When you are ready to have it, remove from the freezer and once its thawed, grill it up!
Why is chicken tikka masala so popular?
Some believe that it was invented in the 1970s by a Bangladeshi chef in Glasgow, Scotland, who, in order to please a customer, added a mild tomato-cream sauce to his chicken tikka, which is pieces of boneless chicken marinated in yogurt and curry spices and served on a skewer, kebab-style.
