Description

Learn how to make flavorful and spicy Air Fryer Chicken Vindaloo with this easy recipe! Tender chicken cooked in a rich, tangy vindaloo marinade, perfect for a quick and satisfying meal.

Ingredients 

  • 1 1/2 pounds Chicken thighs, skinless chicken thighs or chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons Vindaloo spice mix, or curry powder
  • 2 tablespoons Garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons Ginger paste
  • 1 tablespoon Tomato paste
  • 1/4 cup Yogurt, preferably plain, unsweetened yogurt
  • 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil, for brushing or spraying the chicken
  • 1 tablespoon Vinegar, white or apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt, or to taste
  • Fresh cilantro: A small handful, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, combine the vindaloo spice mix, garlic and ginger paste, tomato paste, yogurt, vinegar, and a pinch of salt. Mix until smooth.
  • Add the chicken thighs or breasts to the marinade, ensuring each piece is thoroughly coated. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes, or overnight for deeper flavor.
  • Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and let it preheat for about 3 minutes.
  • Place the marinated chicken in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Brush or spray with a little oil to prevent sticking. Cook for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  • While the chicken cooks, sauté onions in a small pan until golden, then add leftover marinade and simmer until thickened.
  • Plate the chicken with the sauce, garnish with fresh cilantro, and serve alongside rice or naan for a complete meal.
