Quick & Easy Chicken Tikka + Video

You can prep this recipe in the morning and the marinade will work its magic throughout the day and then around 45 mins before dinner time I just pop the chicken thighs into a hot oven and serve the juicy, aromatic chicken with our Indian bread, some cucumber raita and a quick chopped salad. This recipe is also great on the BBQ and you can also skewer the chicken and add in vegetables like onions, mushrooms and courgettes.

My husband enjoys all the pickles but we have to buy Lime pickle elsewhere. Is this something that might be offered in the future.
