Method

  1. Combine the chicken cubes, minced garlic, chopped coriander, garlic powder, onion powder, red chilli powder, chilli flakes, lemon juice, oil, and salt in a bowl.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: All ingredients are well combined and chicken is evenly coated. Use your hands or a spoon to ensure the marinade covers every piece.

  2. Mix thoroughly until the chicken is evenly coated, then let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Chicken has absorbed the marinade and looks glossy. Longer marinating time enhances flavor.

  3. Preheat the air fryer to 350°F. Arrange the marinated chicken in a single layer in the air fryer basket.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Air fryer is preheated and chicken pieces are spread out without overlapping. Do not overcrowd the basket for even cooking.

  4. Air‑fry for about 18 minutes, flipping the pieces halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and lightly charred.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Flip halfway for uniform charring.

  5. Transfer to a serving plate and serve hot.
