Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon garlic paste
  • 2 teaspoons paprika
  • ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground cardamom
  • ½ teaspoon ground cloves

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, mix together salt, garlic paste, paprika, cayenne pepper, ground cumin, ground coriander, ground cinnamon, ground cardamom, and ground cloves.
  • Add chicken and coat well. Allow to marinate for 2 hours or overnight for best flavor.
  • Preheat the Air Fryer at 400°F. Line the chicken in a single layer. Air Fry at 380°F for 10 minutes. Turn over and cook for another 2 to 5 minutes. Note: My air fryer basket fits 4 to 5 chicken thighs at a time without overcrowding. Air fry the chicken in 2 batches.
  • Allow the chicken to rest for 2 minutes before cutting into thin strips.
