Air fryer tandoori chicken wings recipe, Tandoori wings

Air fryer tandoori chicken wings is a spicy, juicy and delicious appetizer prepared by Air frying marinated pieces of chicken wings to perfection. Yes unbelievable texture was achieved in the Air fryer and as it looks it tasted great as well. Cut, marinate and hassle free Air fry to prepare these tandoori wings which can be prepared in bulk/ small quantity to be served for your family members or to be starred in party/ potluck.

This is my version of tandoori wings which is always devoured by my family and friends, just trued making it Air fryer for first and turned out great and yummy. I tried making this recipe the very first tim ein Air fryer but have tried a lot of recipes in AIR FRYER and have posted few like these:

Back to the recipe, I have used Kasuri methi to give distinct taste and flavor also I have used sour curd because of which I have skipped lemon, you could try using lemon as well for marination. I used Kashmiri red chili powder for that awesome color and you guys know well I don’t use food color in any of my dishes. If you don’t have/ don’t use Air fryer you can try baking in the oven as well by preheating it to 400F and baking for 25 to 30 minutes and broil for 2 minutes to that charred flavor.

Do try this recipe at home and let me know your feedback. I hope this recipe will be useful for Iftar with reduced spiciness as it is a hassle free recipe.
