Topic: Tikka Style Chicken - Succulent Every Time

[Garp]

Chicken marinated in salt and lemon juice for half an hour. Pat Chapman mix now added - looks ok and smells delicious. Into the fridge now 'til tomorrow

You can use my Tandoori oven if you want

It'll be interesting to see what you make of this garp. On its own I don't think the PC mix quite hits the spot but with added tweaks such as in CA's recipe it's deeelish.

Get it fired up mate - I'll be down sometime tomorrow

I'll let you know how it goes SS. Not sure what CA's tweaks were but first impressions (or second) are quite promising.

I'll be putting it in a sauce anyway, so don't want it too overpowering. Nice, mellow flavour will do me fine

I have been taught to always taste my marinade ( before adding to the chicken)
To adjust seasoning   May be a squirt of lemon or vinegar or salt
If your marinade doesn't taste good then nor will the end results
Just a quote

My marinade is only lemon juice, salt and spice mix, Michael - I don't really fancy a mouthful of powder 

[Micky Tikka]

Yes  ;D
what I'm trying to say is people should taste their marinades

This looks good garp. All my best tikka cooked on a domestic oven has been yoghurt free
Will give this a try
Cheers

Update on the Pat Chapman Tandoori Masala.

Chicken just out of the oven, and I have to say it tastes pretty damn good. Not sure if it would stand up as stand-alone tikka, but for use in curries (I always use tikka) I think it has enough flavour, but not too much to overpower the dish.

Here's a wee pic - deliberately made it orange as opposed to red, but that is purely for aesthetic purposes.



Looking forward to this with Andy's Madras (with tweaks) later

Looks good Garp, might have to give it a go
