Experimental food trends keep reeling in the social media scene with a mix of wonder and incredulity. The latest one doing the rounds is chicken tikka chocolate, which has gone viral, with people sharply divided on whether it is any good or not. This rather unusual combination was put forth in a video shared by @imjustbesti on Instagram, which created a storm in that space.

The Making of Chicken Tikka Chocolate

In the viral clip, a man demonstrates how to prepare the odd fusion treat. The creation starts by adding food coloring to the chocolate mold. Next comes a layer of white chocolate, followed by a twist. He fills the mold with chicken tikka filling before sealing it up again with another layer of chocolate. After freezing it for a few hours, this weird dessert is good to be tasted. Lastly, he added a taste test and asked for audience feedback by questioning, “What Are Your Thoughts On Chicken Tikka Chocolate?”

Social Media Reactions

The video went viral in a matter of days, but the response from viewers was mostly one of disgust or disbelief. Many commenters were confused at the idea of pairing the savory Indian dish with sweet chocolate. One user wrote, “This is not fusion; it’s confusion! Why ruin two perfectly good things?” Another quipped, “Chicken tikka and chocolate? What’s next, biryani ice cream?”

A frustrated viewer claimed that the creation is “the most cursed recipe I’ve seen this year,” while another humorously added, “Please make it stop.” Though some applauded the creator’s adventurous spirit, the majority of viewers found the combination hard to stomach, with many arguing that fusion food has its limits—this experiment clearly crossed them.
