Introduction
This is a quick and delicious restaurant-style tandoori chicken recipe made easily in an air fryer in under 30 minutes. The chicken turns out beautifully charred on the outside while remaining incredibly juicy, tender, and flavorful on the inside.
Step 1
Place the garlic, ginger, and green chillies into a food processor with a small splash of water. Blend them into a smooth paste. Take 2 heaped tablespoons of this paste for the marinade.
Step 2
In a large bowl, combine the prepared garlic-ginger-chilli paste, salt, coriander powder, garam masala, deghi mirch, turmeric, dried chilli flakes, cumin seeds, food colouring, oil, Greek yogurt, tandoori marinade paste, and lime juice. Whisk until the marinade is thoroughly combined and smooth.
Step 3
Pour the marinade over the washed chicken pieces. Use your hands to thoroughly coat each piece, making sure the marinade gets deep into the cuts. Cover the bowl with cling wrap and refrigerate overnight to marinate.
Step 4
On the next day, remove the marinated chicken from the fridge and let it rest on the counter for 1 to 3 hours to bring it back to room temperature. Give the chicken one final mix before cooking.
Step 5
Preheat your air fryer to 200°C (392°F) using the preheat function for about 3 minutes.

Important Notes
If you do not have Patak's Tandoori Marinade Paste, you can skip it, but using it is highly recommended as it adds a rich depth of flavor.
If you are short on time, marinate the chicken for at least 6 hours, but overnight marination yields the best flavor.
Always use the air fryer's crisper plate so that the chicken does not sit in its own juices while cooking.
Clean the crisper plate between batches to prevent burnt residues from sticking to the subsequent batches of chicken.
