Preparation:

1. Prepare the Chicken:

   • Cut chicken breast or thigh fillets into bite-sized cubes or strips. Pat the pieces dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.

2. Marinate the Chicken:

   • In a bowl, combine Shan Masala Tikka Mix with yogurt, lemon juice, and a bit of oil to form a paste. Coat the chicken pieces thoroughly in the marinade and let it rest for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more intense flavour.

3. Cook the Chicken Tikka:

   • Grill: Preheat the grill and cook the marinated chicken on skewers for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally until cooked through and slightly charred.
   • Bake: Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Place the chicken on a baking tray and cook for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and cooked through.
   • Pan-Fry: Heat a little oil in a pan and cook the marinated chicken on medium heat for 7-10 minutes until it’s cooked through and crispy on the outside.

4. Serve:

   • Serve your chicken tikka hot with naan, rice, or salad. You can also garnish with fresh cilantro, onions, and a squeeze of lemon juice.
