Easy chicken tikka masala thighs are a great way to get all those glorious curry flavors without all the fuss. Serve with Naan and raita for an easy feast.

 

Easy chicken tikka masala thighsSo you know by now that I love a cooking shortcut. Especially on weeknights when no-one has time to spend hours in the kitchen. And this easy chicken tikka masala thighs recipe is right up my alley. Not only does it use chicken thighs, which I LOVE, the easy tikka masala paste you slather them in results in the most delicious, finger-licking chicken.

It’s the kind of recipe I prep  in the morning while I have a second and the marinade gets to work its magic throughout the day and then around 45 mins before dinner time I just pop the chicken thighs into a hot oven and serve the juicy, aromatic chicken with pillowy naan bread, some cucumber raita and a quick chopped salad. It’s SUCH a good dinner and guarantees empty plates every time. Plus, the leftover chicken is pretty awesome the next day too!

    Made these thighs over the weekend for lunch with friends and they were a hit. The chicken was so tender and we served it with Naan and yoghurt sauce like you suggested and it was perfect. Such a great meal.
