Air Fryer Tandoori Chicken

Cultural Context

Tandoori chicken originated from the Indian subcontinent, traditionally cooked in a clay oven called a tandoor. This dish represents the rich culinary heritage of India, where marinated meats are grilled to perfection, often served at celebrations and gatherings. The air fryer adaptation has made this beloved dish more accessible, allowing for a healthier, quicker preparation while retaining its signature flavors.
