Air Fried Tandoori Chicken

Air Fried Tandoori Chicken done the same way as your standard Tandoori Chicken. Can you still get the charred pieces? Yep and maybe even a bit better in the air fryer.

Serve this up with some Rice and Samosas with Red Samosa Dipping Sauce or use the Red Samosa Dipping Sauce to toss the Tandoori Chicken for an East Indian Style BBQ Chicken Dish.

Chicken

For this recipe I use Chicken Drumsticks, Skin on. No Scoring. Which is just a matter of preference. You can remove the Skin or Score the Chicken for a deeper absorption of the Tandoori marinade if you’d like.

Tandoori Masala

I am currently developing a JAHZKITCHEN brand of Tandoori Masala. However, Kissan Tandoori Masala may be used just as well and in the same amounts.

Marinade

The Marinade consists of the below ingredients and is pretty standard for Tandoori Chicken. Optionally add minced Garlic & Ginger to elevate those flavors or Chilies to add some heat.

• 1/4 C Yogurt & Neutral Oil
• 2 Tbl Tandoori Masala
• 1 – 2 Tbl Lemon Juice

Mix the above together well and place the chicken in. Toss to ensure each piece gets coated and refrigerate for 1 hour or more. Longer marination is better resulting in Chicken where the flavors have penetrated into the Chicken a bit more.

Air Frying Tandoori Chicken

Place the chicken in a single layer with space between each piece. Air Fry at 400 F for 25 minutes.

Remove and allow to rest before serving.
