AirFry Function Recipe: Indian Chicken Kebabs

The flavours used here are similar to Tikka or Tandoori flavors so if you're not bothered making your spice mix up replace whats here  with 2 tbsps of your favorite Indian spice paste and add the oil, yogurt and lime/lemon juice.  They work equally well with any of your favorite flavors and also could be made vegetarian with paneer, firm tofu or aubergine in place of chicken so be creative. Using your air fry function makes this a quick meal and less hassle than charging up the barbecue grill however this would work equally well using the BBQ plate in your Smeg Oven if you have one. This recipe makes enough for 8 skewers, serve with coriander chutney or your favorite dipping sauce. 

METHOD

1. Cut the chicken, peppers and onions into similar sized pieces.
2. In a large bowl add the spice paste ingredients mixing well to combine.
3.  Stir in chicken peppers and onion gently, thread onto skewers, place on plate leave to marinate in fridge while you heat oven (or longer). 
4. Heat oven on Air fry setting – SMEG 250c, BOSCH 230 
   Place a second  tray with foil or baking paper on lower shelf to catch drippings 
5. Spray your air fry tray or basket with baking spray, lay chicken skewers on and spray liberally with baking spray.
6. Place on level 4 and cook for 8-10 minutes or until cooked and golden 
7. Serve on platter with fresh coriander chutney  
8. If using the BBQ plate, set your oven to 250 on BBQ setting and preheat the tray for at least 15 minutes. Turn chicken half way through.
   
   Fresh Coriander Chutney

   Place everything in your SMEG handi blender bowl and process till well blended, adjust flavors and pour into serving bowl.  Chill till ready to serve
