Chicken Tikka is a very common dish in Pakistan and equally liked by elders and children. There are many ways to make it, some people like it in small pieces and others like large pieces but there is no difference in recipe. If you like big pieces then it has to be cooked on slow fire otherwise cook on the normal coal fire.
