Ingredients

Preparation

  1. In a bowl, mix together the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, minced garlic, olive oil, and spices.
  2. Add the chopped chicken to the marinade and mix thoroughly so that each piece is coated. Let it sit for at least 15 minutes (preferably for an hour in the refrigerator).
  3. Preheat the air fryer to 200 degrees Celsius.
  4. Place the chicken in the deep fryer basket, trying not to pack the pieces too tightly together.
  5. Bake for about 15–20 minutes; halfway through, shake the baking basket or turn the chicken pieces so they brown evenly.
  6. Check to make sure the chicken is fully cooked through, then serve it with your favorite sides.
