Ingredients

For the chicken marinade:

  • 1 lb chicken (thighs or breast), cut into bite size pieces

  • ¾ cup Greek yogurt, full fat

  • 1 tbsp tomato paste

  • 1 tbsp olive oil

  • 2 tbsp Tandoori Twist

  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon or lime juice

  • 1 tbsp grated ginger

  • 1 tbsp minced garlic

  • 1 tsp salt

For the vegetables:

  • 1 red onion

  • 2 bell peppers

  • 8-10 baby potatoes, parboiled 8-10 minutes

  • 1 tbsp olive oil

  • 1 tbsp Tandoori Twist

  • 1 tsp salt

  • Finish with a squeeze of fresh lime, cilantro, and a sprinkle of Flavor Pop for a bright, savory flavor.

Instructions

  1. Prepare the marinade: In a large bowl, mix the marinade ingredients and set ¼ cup aside for the potatoes. Add the chicken to the marinade and mix until well coated. Let sit for at least 20-30 minutes (up to overnight).

  2. Prepare the vegetables: Toss vegetables with olive oil, Tandoori Twist, & salt in large bowl. Toss the par boiled potatoes with the reserved ¼ cup of marinade. Let both sit for 10-15 minutes while the chicken marinates.

  3. Skewer

  4. Air Fry: Air fry at 400 F. for 12-15 minutes for chicken breast or 14-18 minutes for chicken thighs, turning half way through, until the chicken reaches 165 F. and vegetables lightly charred.

    Optional: For extra char, broil on high for 1-2 minutes.

  5. Finish and serve: Squeeze fresh lime juice over the top, Add a sprinkle of Flavor Pop if using, and garnish with cilantro before serving.

Cooking Tips

  • Don’t overcrowd the pan or air fryer: Give everything space so it roasts, not steams. Use two pans if needed.

  • Use thighs for more flavor: Chicken thighs stay tender and flavorful, but breast works too for leaner option—just don’t overcook.

  • Reserve ¼ cup of the marinade: before adding to the raw chicken to coat the potatoes.

  • Parboil the potatoes for 8-10 minutes: so they cook through and brown evenly.

Simple Pairings

  • Basmati, coconut rice, or curry rice

  • Green chutney

  • Cucumber tomato salad

  • Add a side of naan or flatbread

  • Drizzle with a quick raita (cooling yogurt sauce for a creamy contrast)

  • Pair with a crisp Sauvignon Blanc or an off-dry Riesling
