Best Chicken Cuts for BBQ Restaurants

Published on May 12, 2026 | Grill Kitchen Guide

Karachi's food scene features a wide variety of BBQ restaurants and street-side grill joints. For these kitchens, serving tender, cooked-to-the-bone chicken tikka and malai boti depends on consistent slicing sizes.

1. Tikka Quarters (Breast & Leg Pieces)

The standard chicken tikka requires leg and breast quarters. The pieces must be cleaned, with deep cuts made in the thickest areas to allow spices to penetrate and ensure thorough cooking on charcoal grills.

2. Boneless Thigh Cubes for Tikka Boti

Juicy tikka boti is best made using chicken thigh meat. Slicing thighs into even 1.5-inch cubes ensures they cook uniformly on skewers without drying out.

3. Wings and Skewers

Chicken wings are a popular addition to BBQ menus. We recommend two-joint wings, which cook quickly and present well on grills.

Should we use breast or thigh for chicken malai boti?

Thigh meat is juicier and stays tender on the grill, but breast meat cubes are cleaner and easier to skew.
