Chicken tikka is one of the most popular barbecue dishes in Pakistan. This flavorful recipe features chicken marinated in a rich blend of yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, ginger, and aromatic spices, then grilled or baked until tender, juicy, and lightly charred.

Traditionally served with naan, mint chutney, onion rings, and lemon wedges, Pakistani Chicken Tikka is a delicious main course that's easy to prepare and packed with authentic South Asian flavors.

Cooking Method

Make deep cuts in the chicken pieces to help the marinade penetrate.
In a large bowl, combine the yogurt, lemon juice, ginger-garlic paste, oil, and all the spices.
Coat the chicken thoroughly with the marinade.
Cover and refrigerate for 4–8 hours, or overnight for the best flavor.
Preheat a grill or oven to 400°F (200°C).
Grill or bake the chicken for 35–40 minutes, turning halfway through and basting with a little oil or melted butter.
Cook until the chicken is fully cooked and lightly charred on the outside.
Garnish with lemon wedges, onion rings, and fresh cilantro.
Serve hot with naan, mint chutney, and a fresh salad.
