Equipment

1 Air Fryer

Ingredients

1 pound boneless chicken breasts or thighs
¾ cup plain yogurt
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 ½ tablespoons tandoori masala
1 tablespoon paprika
1/2 tablespoon ginger grated
1/2 tablespoon garlic minced
2 teaspoons salt
¼ teaspoon turmeric
1 teaspoon fresh mint leaves (optional) chopped

Instructions

Cut the chicken breasts/thighs into 1-inch thick pieces. In a large mixing bowl, marinade the chicken with all the ingredients except the mint leaves.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or overnight for best results).
Cut the wooden kebab sticks to the size of the air fryer basket and soak in water for 10 minutes.
Put the chicken on the kebab sticks
Preheat the air fryer to 360°F for 5 minute.
Place skewers into airfryer basket, spray with cooking oil and let it cook for 13-15 minutes.
Optional, sprinkle finely chopped mint over chicken and serve.

Notes

You can cook tandoori chicken in a regular oven. Place each piece of chicken 1/2 inch apart on a foil lined and lightly greased baking sheet. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for about 25 minutes, turning the chicken halfway through.
