Gluten-free. Bold in flavor. Always sizzling.

That’s what makes Chicken Tikka one of the most loved appetizers at Delhi Indian Cuisine in Henderson. This dish brings the classic taste of North Indian tandoori cooking right to your table—with perfectly marinated boneless chicken breast grilled in a traditional clay oven and served with fresh mint and tamarind chutney.

Now, let’s dive into how you can recreate this restaurant-style Chicken Tikka at home.

🍗 Ingredients for Chicken Tikka (Serves 3–4)

  • 500g boneless chicken breast (cut into cubes)
  • 1/2 cup thick yogurt
  • 1 tbsp ginger-garlic paste
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp turmeric powder
  • 2 tsp red chili powder (or paprika for color)
  • 1 tsp cumin powder
  • 1 tsp garam masala
  • 1 tbsp mustard oil (or vegetable oil)
  • Salt to taste
  • Skewers (wooden or metal)
  • Mint and tamarind chutney (for serving)
  • Fresh lemon wedges and onion rings (optional garnish)

🔥 Step-by-Step Chicken Tikka Recipe

Step 1: Marinate the Chicken

In a bowl, mix yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, lemon juice, turmeric, chili powder, cumin, garam masala, oil, and salt. Add chicken cubes and coat well. Cover and refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight for best results.

Step 2: Preheat the Grill or Oven

If using an oven, preheat it to 450°F (230°C). If using a grill or tandoor, get it nice and hot.

Step 3: Skewer and Grill

Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto skewers. Place them on a baking tray or grill, and cook for 15–20 minutes, turning once midway. The edges should be slightly charred, and the inside juicy and cooked through.

Step 4: Serve Sizzling

Serve hot on a sizzler plate or platter, accompanied by mint chutney, tamarind chutney, and lemon wedges.
