Chicken tikka is a dish of roasted marinated chicken pieces traditionally cooked in a tandoor. It is associated with Mughal cuisine, reflecting Central and South Asian cooking techniques and the use of yogurt-based marinades and spices. It is now popular across South Asia and worldwide. The dish later served as the basis for the British curry chicken tikka masala.”
