Chicken Sneaka Masala part 2: Sneaking

Noms / May 3, 2010 / John / 0

This bit is easy. It’s just tikkafying the marinaded chicken. Only reason I’m doing a post about it is to reveal the Secret Incantation of the Sacrificial Potato.

You’re going to skewer your chicken and need something to rest the skewers on so it’s suspended above the grill pan, right? Otherwise it sticks! So, get a potato, quarter it, and cut a notch in the top. Voila – skewer mount. After than it’s just a matter of slapping it in the grill and letting it cook. Two points:

1. It’s MUCH better if you do it on a barbeque. Sadly, my ex-wife has custody of mine so the grill will have to do.
2. Gravity is fighting you so unless your chicken chunks are very well balanced you’re just not going to be able to get them evenly done by turning the skewer. In this case, there’s no shame in sticking them in  a dry pan for a few minutes to ‘finish them off’.
