  • 2 tablespoons vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons ginger-garlic paste
  • 1 tablespoon chaat masala
  • 1 teaspoon red chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon coriander powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1-2 teaspoon mustard paste

Instructions
 

  • Clean the chicken and remove any giblets. Pat the chicken dry completely.
  • Make slits in the chicken
  • Make the marinade by mixing all the ingredients mentioned above.
  • Rub the marinade on the chicken, making sure to fill in the slits too.
  • Cover the chicken and refrigerate it for at least 4 hours or for best result leave overnight.
  • Do not preheat the air fryer.
  • Place the chicken BREAST SIDE DOWN in the air fryer basket.
  • Set on "Air fryer" setting at 350°F for 20 minutes.
  • Then using tongs, flip the chicken and continue air frying at 350°F for 20-30 minutes more.
  • If using a meat thermometer, the internal temperature should read 165°F.
  • Remove the chicken from the air fryer basket and let it rest for 10 minutes before cutting.
  • Serve with your favorite sides.

Notes

  1. Dry the chicken before applying marinade so that it stays on.
  2. We do not preheat the air fryer to prevent the chicken from browning and burning too quickly.
  3. Once the chicken is done, rest it before cutting into it. This allows its juices to remain in the meat.
