Method

1 Remove the skin, bone and fat from the chicken thighs. Cut each into 2 pieces and season.  Mix tikka paste and yogurt together in a large bowl, add the prepared chicken, cover and chilli in the fridge to marinate for an hour.

2 Meanwhile, light the barbeque and leave to heat for 20mins. Thread 2 pieces of chicken onto each skewer with a wedge of lemon. When the coals are white the barbeque is ready. Cook the chicken on each side for 5- 7mins or until cooked through and the juices run clear.

TIP: We used Pataks Tikka Masala paste £1.36 for 283g. For extra heat try Tandoori paste.
