Best Sides for Marinated Chicken

Tandoori-style chicken pairs naturally with sliced onions, lemon wedges, mint chutney, and warm rotis. A cool bowl of curd or raita can soften the heat and add contrast to the plate.

For pepper or garlic marinades, try steamed rice, sautéed vegetables, or a simple grain bowl. These sides allow the chicken to remain the main flavour while adding texture and freshness.

For wraps and rolls, use flatbread, shredded cabbage, cucumber, and a light sauce. Keep the accompaniments fresh and avoid adding too many strong flavours at once.
