Method

  1. 1

    Ignite the Griglia: Preheat your grill to a medium-high heat, ensuring the grates are clean and ready for perfect searing. This sets the stage for that irresistible BBQ char.

  2. 2

    Skewer Perfection: Thread the marinated Chicken Tikka pieces onto skewers. For even cooking, try to arrange pieces of similar size together. A splash of olive oil will help prevent sticking and enhance browning.

  3. 3

    Season & Sizzle: Lightly brush the skewered chicken with a touch more olive oil. Season generously with freshly ground black pepper and a pinch of salt to awaken the inherent flavours.

  4. 4

    The Art of Grilling: Carefully place the skewers on the preheated grill. Cook for 12-15 minutes, turning every few minutes, until the chicken is beautifully golden-brown with enticing char marks and cooked through to a juicy perfection.

  5. 5

    Golden Cheesy Dust: While the chicken grills, prepare your savoury dust. In a small bowl, combine the Cheddar Cheese Powder with a tiny pinch of salt and a whisper of black pepper. This creates a delightful, umami-rich topping.

  6. 6

    Rest & Sprinkle: Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring tender, moist chicken.

  7. 7

    Serve with Flair: Arrange the warm, succulent chicken skewers on a platter. Generously dust them with your golden cheese powder, adding a vibrant, savoury finish that promises a burst of flavour in every bite.

πŸ‘©β€πŸ³ Chef's tip

For the juiciest results, do not overcook the chicken; it should be tender and moist. Brushing the grill grates with oil before cooking will prevent sticking and create beautiful grill marks.
