Chicken Tikka is one of those dishes that is packed with flavor. It starts with chicken marinated in yogurt along with lemon juice and aromatic spices, then air fried to perfection. Served with some turmeric rice, this is a dish you can make for yourself or a large group! For best results, let chicken marinate overnight and I always use a rice cooker to make the perfect rice.
