Air Fryer Tandoori Chicken – Indian Style

Step 1: Marinate Chicken

Ensure chicken leg quarters are thoroughly coated in a vibrant red tandoori marinade.

Step 2: Apply Lime Juice

Squeeze fresh lime juice onto the marinated chicken, ensuring it's evenly distributed using a brush.

Step 3: Transfer to Air Fryer

Carefully place the marinated chicken leg quarters into the air fryer basket.

Step 4: Add Remaining Marinade

Pour any leftover marinade from the bowl over the chicken in the air fryer basket to enhance flavor and moisture.

Step 5: Set Air Fryer

Close the air fryer. Set the temperature to 200°C (≈390°F) (approximately 390°F) and the cooking time to 25 minutes.

Step 6: Air Fry Chicken

Begin air frying the chicken. Observe as it cooks and starts to brown.

Step 7: Baste During Cooking

During the cooking process, open the air fryer and brush the chicken with oil or additional marinade to keep it moist and enhance browning and charring.

Step 8: Final Browning

Continue air frying until the chicken is cooked through, juicy on the inside, and has a charred, golden-brown exterior.

Step 9: Serve

Carefully remove the hot tandoori chicken from the air fryer and serve immediately, garnished with fresh cucumber slices.

• Ensure chicken is well-marinated for best flavor.

• Basting with oil during cooking helps achieve a crispy skin and keeps the chicken moist.

• Adjust cooking time based on the size of the chicken pieces and your air fryer model.

• Experiment with different spice blends in the marinade.

• Serve with mint chutney and onion rings for a complete experience.
