Step-by-Step Instructions

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 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.

Pro Tips

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.

Recipe Variations

Experiment with different spice blends in the marinade.

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