Tandoori Air Fryer Chicken Quarters
These tandoori-style chicken quarters are coated in Greek yogurt, lemon and warm spices, then air fried until juicy and richly coloured. Garam masala, cardamom and cumin make an ordinary chicken dinner feel special without adding difficult steps. Serve with warm flatbread.
What you'll need.
- 2 chicken leg quarters
- 3 tbsp Greek yogurt
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- ½ tsp ground ginger
- ½ tsp dried garlic
- ½ tsp turmeric
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp garam masala
- ½ tsp cumin
- ¼ tsp cardamom
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- Parsley, to finish
How to make it.
- Pat the chicken quarters dry and make two shallow cuts in the thickest parts.
- Mix the yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, ginger, garlic, turmeric, paprika, garam masala, cumin, cardamom, salt and pepper.
- Coat the chicken thoroughly with the spiced yogurt mixture.
- Arrange the quarters skin-side down and air fry at 180°C (350°F) for 17 minutes, turning halfway, until cooked through.
- Rest for 5 minutes and finish with chopped parsley.
My tips.
Rub the marinade into the shallow cuts so the thick chicken quarters cook evenly and taste seasoned throughout. For a milder variation, reduce the garam masala and add a little extra yogurt.
Good to know.
Can I marinate the chicken ahead?
Yes. Cover and refrigerate it for up to 12 hours for deeper flavour.
Can I use separate thighs and drumsticks?
Yes. Begin checking smaller pieces a few minutes earlier so they stay juicy.
What should I serve with it?
Rice, cucumber salad, or warm flatbread all work beautifully.
