hello everyone please welcome and joins me in Easy Steps cooking today I'm going
to share with you whole chicken and I'm going to make a whole chicken like a
tandoori style in the air fryer and how to do I'm going to make it tasty and juicy
I'm going to share with you I'm going to remove the skin and I'm going to wash it
with the cold water, it's a fresh chicken 1 onion 1-inch ginger 1 green Serrano
chili garlic cloves these are frozen and I'm going to use 10 of them and I'm
going to put it into the bullet in the processor and we're going to make it a
smooth paste other ingredients coriander powder red chili flakes tandoori masala
cumin powder salt black pepper garam masala each one of them 1 teaspoon and
2 teaspoon parsley flakes I'm going to share with you how to make our chicken moist
and juicy I'm going to use 1 cup of water that going to be hot water I have our 10
garlic cloves we're going to put it up and green chili and ginger we're just
going to cut into small pieces so then it's easier to make a smooth paste and
and onion we going to do 4 pieces this is a perfect tighten the blade
if you get stuck it's a good idea to move around
I had skin taken out then I trim the fat and I washed it with the cold water and
now what I wanted to share with you that I'm going to make a nice 3 cut one-two
three it's a big chicken so we're going to do
the same thing on this side one-two and three the whole reason we're doing the
cut when we're going to marinate the chicken then masala will go inside and
we're going to make it nice cut like this on this side then like this on the
drumstick one on this side then we're going to do it on one on the other side
so we're going to make it a nice size cut and now we're going to turn over again and
we will make it cut on this side like this
so any fat visible at this moment when we're going to cook it it will be nicely
melt away so we're going to have healthy cooking and I'll bring ginger garlic
onion and green chili paste now I'll scoop out now I bring all the dry spices
combine them and that's going to be our marination and now we need to mix it
well once it's nicely combined tandoori masala going to give us a nice color
this is looking good now it's very important that as a personal hygiene
your hand should be really clean and I'm going to bring the chicken and we're
going to marinate with our masala we're going to grab masala and we're going to
massage it well like this
grab a good amount of masala and make sure that inside the chicken it's all
nicely marinated and all the masala goes into each cut, it's nicely marinated
and now I'm going to put the plastic wrap and we're going to put it in the
fridge for two hours the longer the better if you do it
overnight that will be perfect but I'll do it for two hours they'll get a
plastic wrap and we place it on top so
as I mentioned that put it into it for at least two hours to put it in the fridge
the whole chicken is marinated for two hours I just took it out of the fridge
one tip I wanted to share with you when you do the cooking with the
air fryer I'm going to use 1 cup hot boiling water please make sure it's hot
and I'm going to put water right underneath the strainer, it's like a
strainer you don't want to put too much water then they will be touching it, you
don't need too much water in there so now we're going to take out the plastic
wrap whoa look at the chicken it looking so good I'm going to lift it up
and just so I'm going to put it in it right inside the basket just like there
so this is looking good I'm just going to make sure the wipe off the extra masala
so I'm going to place it the whole the chicken inside and we're going to cook
it, we're going to turn it on we're going to keep the temperature at 400 degrees
Fahrenheit for
35 minutes now it's gonna start it started after 15 minutes I'm going to
turn the chicken then after another 15 minutes I'm going to bring the chicken
back to the same position so altogether 30 minutes than the five minutes the
the remainder we're going to put the chicken upside down again within 35 minutes
our whole chicken will be cook it will be oil-less oil-free healthy cooking the
whole reason I added water is that's going to keep the chicken moist that you can
not going to get dry so when we're going to eat it it will be moist juicy and
tender 15 minutes of cooking I'm going to open it Wow look at this nice color
and now we're going to get the chicken and we're going to turn it over just
like this
just looking perfect to place it back again and it will start off at the same
time what left off 20 minutes so we're gonna come back 15 more minutes later
cooking for exactly half an hour 15 minutes on one side and 15 minutes on
the other side five more minutes to go I'll open it Wow look at this this is a
perfect and we still have a water underneath yes this is fully cooked but
the five minutes is gonna give more crunchy texture and it will start where
it left off five more minutes then it will be all ready we almost done
