Topic: Fishy's chicken tikka

[fishy]

My best yet it was lovely and succulent, i actually preferred this to my BIR

3 tbs yogurt
1 tsp mint sauce
1 tbs mustard oil
1 tbs whitewine vinegar
1 tbs hickory liquid smoke
1 tbs mix powder
1 tsp smoked paprika
half tbs pataks tikka paste
1 tsp GG paste
2 black cardamon pods/split
3 cloves
bay leaves, corrianda, methi
half tsp salt
mix half tsp coffee with 3tbs hot water and 2 tsp sugar (im abit mad but it works)
Red food colouring

Mix all together and marinade 24hrs, i use wooden skewers and soak them in water before adding chicken pieces.

Important not to grill for too long as to retain the moisture but you all no that.
You can taste the wine vinegar with its drawn in flavours, i really enjoyed this chicken.

I actually use some of this marinade in my dishes for added flavour.

Hi Fishy

Not sure if your picture was big enough, had to really squint to see the food

Fascinating list of ingredients!

What is the 'hickory liquid smoke' like? and would you say specifically smoked paprika makes a noticeable difference?

Certainly looks delicious.

Thanks

Hi Solar

Yeh sorry about pic i shoud've resized it.

The hickory smoke does add that slight smokey flavour depending on how much you use, as for the smoked paprika i didnt notice, i think the main differance was the white wine vinegar ( i usally use lemon) it really brought the flavours into the chicken and also gettin that chicken cooked just right so its nice and juicey, i was very happy with the result.
