Crispy Tandoori Chicken and Chips
Crispy tandoori chicken and chips is a meal prep-friendly combo of spiced, juicy chicken thighs, salt-and-pepper fries, and a creamy coleslaw that stays fresh.
Why This Recipe Works
The yogurt and spice blend tenderize the chicken while helping it brown. Cooking the fries without salt keeps them dry and crisp, and salting after cooking locks in texture. The coleslaw provides a cool, creamy contrast to the warm chicken and fries.
Ingredients Overview
Tandoori masala, paprika, cumin, and coriander create a layered spice profile without being overly hot. Yogurt adds tang to both the chicken and the slaw, while lemon juice keeps everything bright.
How to Make It
Season the chicken and cook until deeply browned. Air fry the fries in batches for even crisping. Mix the slaw and keep it chilled, then reheat chicken and fries in the air fryer just before eating.
Tips and Storage
Store the coleslaw separately to keep it crisp. Reheat chicken and fries at 190 C in the air fryer for about 5 minutes.
