Equipment
- Air Fryer (optional)
Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs boneless and skinless chicken thighs cut into 2 1/2 inch pieces
- 1 bunch cilantro
- ¼ cup mint firmly packed
- 3 Tbsp yogurt
- 1 green chili like Serrano (pick a milder chile or remove seeds if you want to limit the spice)
- 1 tsp salt or to taste
- 5 cloves garlic
- 1 ” piece of ginger
- 1 Tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp kasoori methi optional
Instructions
- Add all ingredients except chicken and oil to a blender and puree.
- Combine the puree with chicken and marinade for at least 30 minutes (can be overnight) in the refrigerator.
Air Fryer Method
- Spray the air fryer with a light coating of neutral oil. Place chicken pieces in the air fryer (no need to preheat) with a bit of space in between. Spray the top of the chicken with a light oil coating as well. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you will likely need to work in batches.
- Set the air fryer to 380°F (193°C) and cook for 15 to 18 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F, turning the chicken about halfway through.
- Let the chicken rest for 10 minutes before serving.
Stovetop Method
- Heat a large skillet (ideally cast iron) with 1 tablespoon of oil over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the chicken.
- Let cook for 5 minutes without moving the chicken. Flip. And let cook for 4-6 more minutes, until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F.
- Let the chicken rest for 10 minutes before serving.
