Chicken Tikka is undoubtedly one of the most celebrated culinary masterpieces in international cuisine ๐ŸŒŸ. Charred on the outside, incredibly juicy on the inside, and packed with aromatic spices, this recipe brings authentic restaurant-quality flavor straight to your kitchen! ๐Ÿ˜‹

​๐Ÿ›’ Ingredients You'll Need:

​• ๐Ÿ— Chicken: 800g boneless chicken thighs or breasts, cut into bite-sized cubes.

• ๐Ÿ‹ First Marinade: 1 tbsp lemon juice, 1 tbsp ginger-garlic paste, 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp Kashmiri red chili powder.

• ๐Ÿฅฃ Second Marinade: 1/2 cup thick Greek yogurt (hung curd), 1 tbsp mustard oil, 1 tsp garam masala, 1 tsp ground cumin, 1 tsp coriander powder, 1/2 tsp crushed dry fenugreek leaves (Kasuri Methi).

• ๐ŸŒฟ Garnish & Basting: Melted butter for brushing, fresh cilantro, onion rings, lemon wedges, and green mint chutney.

​๐Ÿ”ฅ Step-by-Step Instructions:

​1️⃣ Double Marinate the Chicken: Coat cubed chicken with lemon juice, ginger-garlic paste, salt, and red chili powder. Rest for 15 minutes. Then mix in Greek yogurt, mustard oil, and ground spices. Refrigerate for at least 3-4 hours (overnight for best results).

​2️⃣ Skewer and Prep: Thread marinated chicken pieces onto wooden or metal skewers, leaving small gaps for even heat distribution.

​3️⃣ Grill & Char: Grill over glowing charcoal, in a piping hot oven (240°C/460°F), or on a cast-iron stovetop grill for 12–15 minutes. Brush generously with melted butter halfway through to lock in juices and achieve iconic charred edges.

​4️⃣ Serve Hot: Transfer to a serving platter, squeeze fresh lemon juice over top, and serve alongside fresh onion rings and chilled mint-yogurt chutney.
