Ingredients

Lemon wedges (for serving)
Fresh cilantro (for garnish)
Cooking oil spray (as needed)
Salt (to taste)
Coriander powder (1/2 teaspoon)
Cumin powder (1/2 teaspoon)
Turmeric powder (1/2 teaspoon)
Paprika (1 teaspoon)
Tandoori masala (2 tablespoons)
Ginger paste (1 tablespoon)
Garlic paste (1 tablespoon)
Lemon juice (2 tablespoons)
Greek yogurt (1/2 cup)
Chicken drumsticks (8 pieces)

Instructions

In a bowl, combine Greek yogurt, lemon juice, garlic paste, ginger paste, tandoori masala, paprika, turmeric powder, cumin powder, coriander powder, and salt. Mix well to make a marinade.
Add the chicken drumsticks to the marinade and coat them evenly. Let the chicken marinate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes.
Spray the air fryer basket with cooking oil spray to prevent sticking.
Place the marinated chicken drumsticks in the air fryer basket, making sure they are not overcrowded.
Air fry the chicken at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and has a crispy exterior.
Remove the chicken from the air fryer and let it rest for a few minutes.
Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve hot with lemon wedges.
Enjoy your delicious air fryer tandoori chicken!
