- Preheat oven to 375°F if going to use oven to bake chicken.
- Otherwise, fill chicken in a single layer in Air Fryer.

- I use Shan Tandoori masala powder. You can use any brand of tandoori masala. These are available at any Indian grocery store. If you do not have it available substitute with 1/2 tsp cinnamon powder, 1/2 tsp paprika, 1/2 tsp black pepper powder, 1/2 tsp coriander powder, 1/2 tsp garam masala and 1/2 tsp monk fruit sweetener.
