While perusing recipes for the Cookbook Inspired Throwdown, I pulled out my very dusty and nearly forgotten copy of Steven Raichlen’s BBQ Bible, which I hadn’t cooked from since probably around 2007:
I liked the story he tells about the sea captain, so I decided to give it a whirl! However, I adapted it for traditional chicken Tikka on skewers, using boneless thigh meat.
Chicken thigh meat cut up into chunks:
Marinade ingredients(I added garam masala and paprika for added depth of flavor, and left out the food coloring):
All mixed up:
After the chicken marinated for about 6 hours, I threaded the chicken onto the skewers:
Then fired up the kettle for super hot indirect:
Chicken tikka skewers on their final leg of cooking:
And plated, with some homemade mint chutney and garlic-parsley naan:
Very tasty!
