Chicken tikka skewers are a flavorful and succulent dish that can be enjoyed as an appetizer or main course. They are perfect for a summer cookout or a weeknight meal. The key to making delicious chicken tikka skewers is to marinate the chicken in a flavorful blend of spices and yogurt. This will help to keep the chicken moist and tender while it cooks. Once the chicken is marinated, it is grilled or roasted until cooked through. The result is a dish that is both flavorful and healthy.
