Air Fryer Tandoori Chicken
Hey you! I hope you all are staying safe. Finally, after a few trial and errors, I have nailed this tandoori chicken recipe. I made this in an air fryer you can make them in an oven or a pan. I like making this in the air fryer because it doesn’t need any additional fat to cook. Trust me it taste so much better and it is healthier!
I use boneless chicken breast, you can use any, chicken thigh or even drumsticks I am sure it is going to taste amazing!

I used two kinds of tandoori masala one is more for flavor ( Eastern) and the other is more for the bright red color (SWAD Tandoori Masala)

This can be made in an oven too with same temperature but it will take slightly longer to cook
You can make this in a pan too just add ghee/butter and once it starts to sizzle gently add the chicken to the pan and cook well
