Chicken Tikka Biryani Recipe, How to make Chicken Tikka Biryani

Chicken Tikka Biryani recipe is a very unique and tasty biryani preparation. This biryani recipe is very different and not very easily available in the restaurants.

You might have heard of the chicken biryanis, chicken dum biryanis, mughlai biryani and so on. But this chicken tikka biryani is not so easily available everywhere. It had this chicken tikka biryani in Dubai once. Though I am not sure how exactly the process went in making that, I was totally mesmerized by how tasty it was.

So I came home and made my version of the same. I simply made the chicken tikka like I always do and followed rest of the recipe like I make the other biryani recipes.

Making this variety is a pure delight as everyone in my family thoroughly enjoy this biryani. In sha Allah in future I will be sharing more varieties of biryanis which will be very different from the regular dishes.

We will first make the chicken tikka before proceeding to make the biryani. Once the chicken tikka is in the oven, you can start on making your biryani.

When I was writing this post I thought I would do a shortcut and simply post my previously shared chicken tikka. But when I went searching for the chicken tikka recipe on the blog, I couldn’t find it. I was totally shocked that I am yet to share the chicken tikka recipe on my blog.

Though there is Chicken Tikka Masala and the Chicken Tikka Pizza I couldn’t find the proper chicken tikka recipe. In sha Allah that will come in the future too.
