Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 chicken breasts approx 500g or 17.5 oz chopped into bite-size chunks
  • 120 g 1/2 cup Greek yogurt or thick natural yogurt full fat
  • 2 cloves garlic peeled and minced
  • 1 tbsp minced ginger
  • juice of half a lemon
  • 1 tsp ground coriander
  • 1/2 tsp turmeric
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp mild chilli powder
  • pinch cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • spray oil I use approx 10ml or 2 tsp for spraying onto the chicken before air frying
  • 90 g 1/3 cup salted butter chopped into small cubes
  • 2 cloves garlic peeled and minced
  • 3 tbsp finely chopped coriander cilantro

Instructions

  1. Combine chicken pieces with yogurt, garlic, ginger, lemon juice, and all spices in a bowl or bag and mix well.
  2. Cover and refrigerate the chicken mixture for 2 to 3 hours to marinate.
  3. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water beforehand to prevent burning.
  4. Thread the marinated chicken onto skewers or place pieces directly in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
  5. Lightly spray the chicken with oil and air fry at 210C or 410F for 14 to 16 minutes, turning once, until cooked through and slightly charred.
  6. While the chicken cooks, melt butter with garlic over low heat, then stir in coriander and set aside.
  7. Remove chicken from the air fryer and brush with the melted coriander garlic butter before serving.

Notes

  • You can marinate the chicken up to a day ahead
  • Avoid cooking and reheating later as it may dry out
  • Cooked kebabs can be cooled and served cold in salads or wraps
  • Alternatively, refrigerate or freeze cooked chicken and reheat in curries for 10-12 minutes until hot
