Time 25m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 chicken thighs
salt
1 cardamom, pod
1 garlic clove
1 tablespoon ginger, peeled and coarsely chopped
1/3 cup plain yogurt
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/3 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
1 dash cayenne pepper (more or less to taste)
1/4 onion, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Rinse the chicken thighs, pat dry, and remove the skin. Sprinkle lightly with salt, then let stand while you mix the marinade.
  • In a mini food processor of spice grinder, combine the cardamom, garlic, and ginger. Process to a fine paste. Place paste in a small bowl or zip top bag.
  • Add yogurt, lemon juice, pepper and cayenne to the paste, and stir to combine. Add the chicken, toss to coat, and refrigerate for at least 6 and up to 12 hours.
  • Heat a grill to medium-high. Brush and oil the grate. Remove chicken from the marinade, and place on the hot grill. Cook, turning occasionally, until the outside is nicely browned and the inside is completely cooked, about 6 to 8 minutes per side.
  • Place cooked chicken on a platter, and top with the sliced onion.

This chicken tikka is a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved it. I'll probably make it again, but I'll use less cayenne pepper.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my chicken tikka came out really dry. I followed the recipe exactly.

The marinade for this chicken tikka is amazing! I let the chicken marinate for 24 hours and it was so flavorful. The yogurt sauce is also very good.

I'm not a big fan of spicy food, so I omitted the cayenne pepper from the marinade. The chicken still had a lot of flavor and it was very moist.

I followed the recipe exactly and unfortunately the chicken came out a little dry. I think next time I'll marinate the chicken for longer.

This chicken tikka was an explosion of flavor! The marinade was incredibly flavorful and tenderized the chicken perfectly. The yogurt sauce was the perfect complement, cooling down the heat from the spices. My family loved it!
