Ingredients

  • 1 lb chicken tenders (or thighs cut into 1.5-inch pieces)
  • 2 tbsp Greek yogurt
  • 2 tbsp heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 tsp garlic paste
  • 1 tsp ginger paste
  • 1/2 tsp minced green chili
  • 1 1/2 tsp Kosher salt
  • 1 Kashmiri red chili powder
  • 1/4 tsp ground turmeric
  • 2 tsp kasoori methi (dried fenugreek leaves) (crushed)
  • 1/2 tsp garam masala
  • 2 tbsp butter (melted)
  • 2 tbsp cilantro (finely chopped)

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a large bowl, whisk together all marinade ingredients. Add chicken pieces and toss until well-coated. Let it sit for at least 20 minutes or refrigerate overnight if meal prepping.

  2. 2

    Thread the chicken onto four 8-inch metal or soaked wooden skewers. Leave a tiny bit of space between pieces to ensure the air circulates for even browning.

  3. 3

    Preheat the air fryer to 380°F. Arrange the skewers in a single layer and cook for 10 minutes, flipping halfway through if you’d like.

  4. 4

    Immediately brush the hot skewers with the melted butter and cilantro mixture.
