Air Fryer Tandoori Chicken

Tandoori is one of my favorite ways to cook chicken. The flavor combination hits all the happy spots for my taste buds. This recipe is simple and delicious. The air fryer adds a nice touch of crispy to the outside of the chicken. Or maybe it's just my chicken because I cook it too long.
