Instructions

  • Add the peppers, onion, chicken, tikka seasoning and olive oil to the air fryer.
  • Cook at 200°C/400°F for 12 minutes. It will be cooked to a gorgeous golden brown.

Notes

  • Not a fan of Indian spices? You could use Mexican, or even a mild Italian season blend instead.
  • Make this in to a more filling meal by serving it with some rice as well as naan, dip and salad.
  • Like things on the spicier side? Add an extra teaspoon of chilli powder to the tikka seasoning.
  • You can make air fryer chicken tikka in advance by marinating the chicken and then keeping it in the fridge until you are ready to serve.
  • Don't overcrowd the air fryer and try to keep everything in a single layer to allow the air to circulate and the chicken to get nice and crispy. If you have a small air fryer, then you can cook it in batches.
  • Make sure the chicken is cut to the same size to ensure that it all cooks evenly.
