This is an easy recipe for Chicken Tikka Masala – chicken marinated in yogurt and simple spice. Can be cooked or grilled in the conventional oven or in the pan. I have use only the skinless meat of thighs and leg part, not the breast. Breast meat cooks more faster as there are chances it gets overcooked and becomes hard. Also i prefer to go for a pan fried method because it is way more faster than the oven when you make it in less quantity. It is also cooks the chicken well retaining its moisture. But i leave it to you to chose your preferred method of doing it.

• Prep Time: 15 minutes
• Marinate time: At-least 1 hour
