Air Fryer Tandoori Chicken — Smoky Restaurant Flavour

Nanthini's tandoori chicken adapted for the air fryer — intensely spiced, yoghurt-marinated chicken with the charred edges you expect from a tandoor oven. The high heat of the air fryer mimics the radiant heat of a clay oven better than a regular oven does.

🥘 Ingredients

• Bone-in chicken pieces, thick yoghurt (must be full-fat), Kashmiri red chilli powder (for deep red colour with mild heat), tandoori masala, ginger-garlic paste, lemon juice, mustard oil (or regular oil). Two-stage marinade: a raw marinade first to tenderise, then the yoghurt marinade.

👨‍🍳 Steps

1. Step 1: First marinade — mix salt, lemon juice, and chilli powder. Rub all over chicken, getting into the cuts. Rest 20 minutes. Step 2: Mix second marinade. Add chicken. Coat every surface thoroughly...
