Air Fryer Tandoori Chicken Ingredients

Air Fryer Tandoori Chicken

  • 6 chicken drumsticks
  • 1/3 cup plain yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon each of ginger, garlic, and Kashmiri red chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon each of garam masala

  • One tablespoon of lemon juice, Kasoori methi, and cooking oil spray

Instructions

Air Fryer Tandoori Chicken

  1. Using a paper towel, gently pat the chicken drumsticks dry. Then, taking one drumstick and pulling the skin down from the thickest part of the chicken to the narrow  end with two paper towels, remove the skin. Rehash for the excess chicken drumsticks. You can easily remove the skin by grasping it with paper towels.
  2. On each drumstick, cut three to four slits across its thick part.
  3. Yogurt, ginger, garlic, turmeric, garam masala, red chili powder, and salt should be added. Place the dried fenugreek leaves on your palms and rub your hands together to gently crush them. Include in the chicken. Mix everything together and coat the chicken with the marinade. Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 20 minutes or up to 24 hours in the refrigerator.
  4. The air fryer must be heated to 350°F. Softly splash the air fryer crate with cooking oil. Spray oil all over the basket before placing the marinated chicken in it.
  5. Air fry for 15 minutes at 350°F.Spray oil lightly over the basket after giving it a half-shake.
  6. Make sure the thickest piece has an internal temperature of 165°F after the cooking cycle is finished. You can cook the chicken for another minute or two to get charred marks, but don’t overcook it.
  7. Citrus mint chutney and fresh lemon wedges complete the meal. For a delicious low-carb meal, combine it with the crunchy cucumber salad.
