You can’t always rely on the weather in the summer when you’re planning on having a barbecue – so why not pick a dish that works just as well in the wok as it does on the barbecue? So if you’re inviting friends over and worried about the weather this brilliant healthy chicken recipe means you’ll be prepared for every eventuality.
These chicken bites would work well as a starter or as part of a lovely barbecue buffet. You’ll need to marinate the chicken with the tikka paste in the fridge for at least 30 minutes, but this means the flavour is really ramped up when it comes to cooking.
Serve on baby lettuce with mango chutney, baby tomatoes, spring onions and a dollop of tasty homemade raita, this is a brilliant go to rain or shine barbecue recipe.
