This recipe serves 4 as a starter or 2 as a main course.

Ingredients

• 500g boneless, skinless chicken breast or thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
• 3 tablespoons tandoori masala blend
• 150g plain Greek yoghurt
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon ginger paste
• 1 teaspoon garlic paste
• Salt, to taste
• Fresh coriander, chopped for garnish (optional)
• Lemon wedges, to serve

Marinate the Chicken:

• In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yoghurt, tandoori masala blend, lemon juice, vegetable oil, ginger paste, garlic paste, and a pinch of salt. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
• Add the chicken pieces to the bowl, ensuring they are evenly coated with the marinade.
• Cover the bowl with cling film and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, ideally for 2 hours or overnight for deeper flavour.

Preheat the Air Fryer:

• Preheat your air fryer to 200°C for about 5 minutes.

Cook the Chicken Bites:

• Lightly spray or brush the air fryer basket with oil to prevent sticking.
• Place the marinated chicken pieces in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.
• Air fry the chicken at 200°C for 12-15 minutes, turning halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and has a slight char on the edges.

Serve:

• Once cooked, remove the chicken bites from the air fryer and transfer to a serving plate.
• Garnish with fresh coriander if desired and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
