Best Afghani Chicken Tikka in Edmonton

About Our Creamy Afghani Chicken Tikka

Afghani Chicken Tikka is a beloved dish that originated in the royal kitchens of Afghanistan and made its way to the Indian subcontinent, where it was embraced and refined. At Baba's Chicken, we prepare this dish with the same care and attention to detail that has defined our cuisine since S. Himmat Singh (Baba Ji) first started his dhaba in 1962. The key to authentic Afghani Chicken Tikka lies in the marinade – a rich, creamy mixture that tenderizes the chicken while infusing it with subtle, sophisticated flavors.

Our preparation begins with premium, locally sourced chicken that's carefully cut and cleaned. The pieces are then marinated for hours in a special blend of cashew paste, thick yogurt, fresh cream, white pepper, green cardamom, and our signature homemade masalas. This extended marination allows the chicken to absorb all the flavors while remaining incredibly juicy. The marinated chicken is then skewered and cooked in our traditional clay tandoor, where the high heat seals in the moisture while creating a subtle char that adds depth to the mild flavors.

Why Our Afghani Chicken Tikka is Special

What sets our Afghani Chicken Tikka apart is the perfect balance of creaminess and subtle spicing. Unlike heavily spiced dishes, this allows you to appreciate the quality of the chicken and the nuanced flavors of the marinade. It's an excellent choice for those who prefer milder dishes or are new to Indian cuisine, yet it's sophisticated enough to delight even the most experienced food enthusiasts. Each order is freshly prepared and grilled to order, ensuring you receive a dish that's hot, tender, and bursting with delicate flavors.
