Tandoori chicken

Thermomix and airfryer recipe today! Let's prepare a delicious Tandoori Chicken. We will prepare the chicken marinade in the thermomix with spices y Greek yogurt, then we will leave it marinating all night or even a day and then let our air fryer do the miracle. It is a recipe with a spectacular flavor and super little work, one of the ones we like the most!

Tandoori is one of the most popular recipes in Indian cuisine and it gets its name because in India they cook the chicken after marinating it in a incredible clay oven called tandoor. Look what a great oven:

In addition you can also find a mixture of spices called tandoori masala which are also very popular and easy to find to make the marinade for this chicken. As you can see, it is quite a spectacle of flavor. So if you have these spices on hand, or you want to buy them for the occasion, they will look spectacular on you. We will make the mixture for our recipe today.

Ingredients

  • 4 cloves of garlic
  • 1 small red chili
  • 1 7cm piece of fresh ginger
  • 1/2 lemon
  • 200 g Greek yogurt
  • 1 level teaspoon of ground cinnamon
  • 1 heaping teaspoon of cumin powder
  • 1 level teaspoon coriander powder
  • 1 level teaspoon garam masala
  • 1 heaping teaspoon of paprika (sweet and/or spicy, to your liking)
  • a pinch of black pepper
  • 6 open boneless chicken thighs
  • a little olive oil
  • fresh chopped cilantro

Preparation

  1. We peel the garlic and remove the seeds from the chili and add them to the thermomix glass. We add the chopped ginger, lemon juice, yogurt and all the spices.

    We shred 30 seconds, speed 7. 

  2. We lower the remains of the lid and walls and repeat the grinding, programming again. 30 seconds, speed 7.

  3. We make some cuts on the chicken so that the marinade penetrates well and then they cook better in the air fryer.

     

  4. We put the chicken in a plastic bag and pour the marinade inside. We close the bag and stir very well, massaging the chicken so that it is well coated.

    We leave it in the refrigerator for 12 or 24 hours. stirring the bag from time to time so that it marinates well on all sides.

  5. We preheat our air fryer at 180º and we cook the chicken with a splash of oil for a few 12 minutes. We turn it around and program again 15 minutes.

    Depending on the size and power of your airfryer, it will need more or less minutes. If you have to leave it for more minutes, no problem. We want a chicken well browned on the outside.

  6. We serve the chicken thighs with rice and lemon. To enjoy!
