Chicken tikka ready to be served or used in a chicken tikka masala.

Chicken tikka (Urdu: چکن تکہ, Hindi: मुर्ग़ टिक्का; / mugɣ ʈikkɑː /) is a Indian dish made by baking small pieces of chicken which has been marinated in spices and yogurt. It is traditionally made on skewers in a tandoor (Indian clay oven) and is usually boneless. The literal meaning of tikka is "pieces of chicken". The Punjabi version, though, is barbecued on red-hot coal and does not always contain boneless pieces. The pieces are regularly brushed with ghee (fat), which gives its taste, while being continuously fanned. It is typically eaten with a green coriander & tamarind chutney, served with onion rings and lemons or used in a chicken tikka masala. A chicken tikka sizzler is a dish where Chicken Tikka is served on a heated plate and is served with onions. The dish is also known and eaten in Afghanistan, though the Afghan version (generally like Persian and Middle Eastern dishes) is less spicy compared to the Indian version.
