- Rita Lobo's Indian-style chicken prepared in an air fryer oven
Components
- 3 skinless, boneless chicken thighs (approximately 400 g)
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1½ teaspoons of grated ginger (a piece roughly 2 cm in size)
- 2 tablespoons of mild paprika
- Half a teaspoon of ground coriander
- Half a teaspoon of ground cinnamon
- A quarter teaspoon of turmeric
- A small amount of ground clove, about a pinch
- Half a teaspoon of salt
- Half a tea cup of unsweetened natural yogurt
- freshly grated nutmeg to taste
- Add ground pepper gradually to achieve the desired flavor.
Setup phase
- In a bowl, grate the garlic (with the skin) using the fine side of the grater. Then, add yogurt, ginger, spices, and salt, and stir thoroughly.
- Using a clamp, put the overcox into the tempered yogurt and stir thoroughly to coat the entire surface. Cover with a plate and let it marinate at room temperature for 10 minutes — this helps make the chicken tender, moist, and flavorful.
- To assemble: place the Air Fryer's rotating spit on a board, securing one fork at one end. Thread the chicken onto the spit from the opposite end of the fork, piercing the meat and folding the thighs over themselves in a zigzag pattern until the entire spit is filled with chicken. Attach the second fork onto the spit, firmly securing the meat in place.
- Set the Electrolux Air Fryer Oven by Rita Lobo to rotisserie mode and bake for 30 minutes.
- Once the Air Fryer is preheated, carefully attach the rotating spike using the designated hook and cook the chicken for approximately 30 minutes, until the spots turn golden and the inside is fully cooked. Halfway through the cooking time, pause the process, remove the spike with the hook, and brush the entire chicken surface with some of the remaining marinade.
- When serving, gently remove the Air Fryer spit using the hook. Hold one end of the spit with a paper towel (as the spike will be hot), rest the other end on the board, and slice the chicken. Serve alongside naan bread, cucumber salad, yogurt sauce, lemon gums, and fresh herbs.
Follow the process step by step.
