Title: Re-use blades tikka marinade after used once?
Post by: deckio007 on March 17, 2011, 01:47 PM: Hi

Decided to try blades chicken tikka marinade and it is in the fridge as we speak looking very tasty!

My Q is I only used two breasts and the marinade is men't to be for 4 breasts.
Can i add two more breasts to this marinade once I have cooked the two in there at the moment? Or is it best not too?

Thanks for any help on this. Loving this forum!

Steve

Hi

You need to think in terms of the raw meat that has been sitting in the marinade and the duration of the marinading that has taken place.

You can probably get away with a little longer, but I always play safe and stick to somthing like 2 x 24 hour marinades of Chicken.

The Chicken itself will probably be fine for longer than this, but considdering there will be a freeze and defrost cycle in the process, better to be safe than sorry.

All the best.

I think in this case you'd probably be ok but it is much safer to air on the side of caution. If you are to use the remaining marinade take the existing chicken out first. Then freeze the marinade with the remaining chicken immediately.

Cooked marinade (for pre-cooked chicken), I leave in my 'fridge and re-use without giving it a second thought; tikka marinade (yoghurt) in which I have marinaded raw chicken, I would either re-use immediately or pour down the sink.

Thanks for your info.

I think I will take out the 2 breasts and add 2 more breasts to the marinade today and cook them tomorrow then that will be 2 x 24 hour periods as you mention.

In future I will make one batch and freeze what ever chicken I don't use.

Thanks again

If only I had a ChewyTikka-style video camera, I could record the whole thing. As it is, I'll just take some "before" and "after" photographs :)

Ok so i just got in a grilled a small portion to test and its bloody fantastic!

I'm planing on making my self a tikka Korma tomorrow night.
How would anyone suggest i add the chicken?

1. Part fry to seal then re add for 5 mins towards the end of the korma being ready?
2 Grill it first and then add as pre cooked chicken? (When's the best time to pre cook it and how should i keep it till its ready to add to korma)

I don't want to over cook it and let it get tuff as i always seem to make that error as still working on perfecting my timings.

Option 2 is the best way to go.

You can use it straight away after pre-grill etc. If not, let it cool as fast as possible then fridge it.

Remove from fridge and allow to reach room temp before adding to the curry with the bulk of the gravy and heat through thoroughly.

Enjoy :P

All the best

That's what i was hoping you would say. Grilling it has made it so soft and even when leaving a some to cool its still soft.

Roll on Friday night.

Thanks everyone for the help
