Thai Chilly Chicken Tikka Seekh steps away from the usual tandoori spice base and leans into Southeast Asian flavours instead, with bird's eye chilli, garlic, and often a hint of lemongrass or coriander root giving the seekh a sharper, more fragrant heat than the typical Indian marinades in this range. The chilli here is brighter and more immediate, so it's a good pick if you enjoy heat that announces itself rather than builds slowly. On the grill it chars quickly thanks to the sugar content typical of Thai-style marinades, so keep the flame moderate and turn the skewers often to avoid burnt patches before the centre cooks through. Serve it with a side of steamed jasmine rice and a simple cucumber salad, or slice it into a noodle bowl for something that crosses cuisines without much extra effort.

It also pairs surprisingly well with a squeeze of lime just before serving, which lifts the chilli and garlic further. As with all marinated skewers, cook thoroughly until no pink remains and the juices run clear, since pre-marinated chicken should never be served undercooked. Refrigerate and use within a day or two, or freeze for later use.
