Chicken Crispy Corn Fried Tikka
Char-grilled chicken in a crispy corn fried marinade — smoky outside, juicy inside, finished with chaat masala and lemon the way the tandoor intended. About 38 minutes from fridge to table.

Coat the chicken completely and marinate for at least an hour — overnight is better still.

Thread onto skewers with a little space between pieces.
- 4
Roast in a 220°C oven (or over coals) for 15-18 minutes, turning once and basting with melted butter.

Rest 3 minutes, sprinkle with chaat masala and squeeze over lemon.
- 7
Serve with a quick mint-cilantro chutney and onion rings.
Chef's tip
Hang the yogurt in muslin for 2 hours first — watery marinade is the enemy of a good char.
