Air fried healthy & delicious chicken…
I seldom fry chicken these days as I enjoy air-fried chicken that tastes exactly like fried chicken. This has been my go-to recipe for making air-fried chicken, I use freshly made marinade with Indian spices. The other day, I added chaat masala as well, which greatly enhanced the taste & flavour of the chicken. Adding chaat masala to the marinade has been my current obsession.
Easy recipe and the chicken tastes absolutely delicious.
