Forgot to mention, put some oil into the pan (light coating is all it needs)

I've recently discovered the halogen oven appears to be perfectly suited to cooking chicken tikka! It has enough radiant heat to sizzle the outside of the tikka, bringing out the sweetness but doesn't seem to dry the meat in the way that grilling can. 5mins each side at 225C in a pre-heated halogen oven and the tikka's done!

Hi Natterjak!

The halogen is no counter queen!!! Excellent ;D

Are you putting the chicken on skewers? If so, how have you 'suspended' them?

I am struggling with that and usually place them on a tray

Haha, not a CQ, no    I skewer the chicken then lay on top of the high rack and use the extension ring. I also recently cooked a whole roast chicken, roast tattles, stuffing and Yorkshire pud in the Hologen because my fan oven element had expired. Went well in fact, but manipulating the potatoes is a challenge when they're low down in the bowl.
