DIRECTIONS
Prepare the chicken thighs by slicing them into bite-sized pieces up to 8 hours before serving.
In a pot or skillet, melt the ghee/peanut oil over very low heat until it begins to bubble. Combine the paprika, cumin, coriander, turmeric, cinnamon, and cayenne in a large mixing bowl. While you’re assembling the rest of the ingredients, let the spices bloom for 2 to 4 minutes over low heat, stirring occasionally.
Combine the yogurt, garlic, ginger, and lemon juice in a glass or non-reactive mixing bowl. Combine the oil and spice combination in a separate bowl. Fold in the chicken and set aside for 30 minutes to 8 hours to marinate.

If you’re using the Napoleon Shish-Kebab Skewer Set, preheat the back burner of your grill to high when you’re ready to dine after you’re finished. If you’re simply using ordinary skewers, preheat the main burners to medium-high (approximately 425°F) before you begin.
When grilling on cooking grids, thread the chicken bits onto skewers and cook for 20* minutes, or until the exterior is browned, if you are using a rotisserie. If you are directly grilling on cooking grids, cook for 5 to 7 minutes each side.
The naan should be sprayed lightly with water on top while the chicken is cooking. Then stack them together while the chicken is cooking. Wrapping the naan in aluminum foil and placing it on the grill, away from direct heat, to warm is a good idea. The water will keep them soft and delectable for a longer period of time.
With soft and tasty naan bread, aromatic and fresh rice, and a wonderful Raita dip, you may serve the chicken either on or off the skewer!
One of the most appealing aspects of this dish is that you can make it as hot or as non-spicy as you want while still enjoying the multitude of delicious tastes.
These Tandoori Chicken Skewers, which can be served on the barbeque in one of two ways, may not have been produced in the traditional tandoor, but they have all of the flavor and heart of the genuine thing.
Take a bit of chicken and eat it with a mouthful of bread or rice, and let the sensation wash over you. What’s your favorite traditional dish or dish from the past?
