Piece of coal:  1 (for smoke)

How to cook:

 1. Wash chicken tikka pieces thoroughly and keep them in a strainer so that all water will drain away.
2. Now apply 1 inch cut over  tikka pieces  so that muscle fibers will become shorter.
3. Mix all ingredients  together and apply over pieces thoroughly, marinate them for 1- 2 hrs (Note: the more you keep them marinated, the tastier they will be.) 
4. Now you can barbecue them or
5. Keep all pieces in a pan and put burnt coal over a piece of foil in  pan and cover tightly for 10 mins.
6. Now you may bake them in a preheated  oven at 350 degree for 30-40 mins or till chicken become tender.

Preparation time:

Marination time + 50 mins

Tip for kitchen:

 To defrost the frozen chicken ,don't keep packet over the counter, keep the packet in tap water in a pan in the morning and cook after 2 hrs  so no bacteria develop in chicken.

    Thanks for the recipe :)

    I live in grad school. And I was planning to marinate chicken on Sunday and cook a couple of pieces everyday till Thursday. Would you advise against it?

    Since you mentioned that the longer you keep it marinated, the tastier it gets, I am assuming that it's okay to keep it marinated for 3-4 days.

    It is a very good idea. But if you want to keep it marinated more than one day then keep it in a freezer and when you want to use it, then first thaw/defrost it and then make it i.e. bake it.
