Can I cook chicken tikka kebabs in the air fryer?

Yes. Cooking chicken tikka kebabs in the air fryer is a brilliant way to get that charred, smoky effect without needing a grill. It’s quick, easy, and mess-free—perfect for a midweek meal or fakeaway night.

Are these chicken tikka kebabs healthy?

Absolutely. These are a great healthy kebab option. The chicken is marinated in yoghurt and spices, then air fried with minimal oil. It’s high in protein and lower in fat compared to takeaway versions.

They typically take around 12–15 minutes at 190°C, depending on the size of your chicken chunks. Always check they’re fully cooked through—juicy in the middle and golden on the outside.

What should I serve with chicken tikka kebabs?

Serve your kebabs with naan or flatbreads, a crunchy salad, or even some air fryer chips. You can also make a full fakeaway-style meal by adding raita, pickled onions, and mango chutney.

Can I prep these chicken tikka kebabs ahead of time?

Yes – you can marinate the chicken the night before and keep it in the fridge. That gives the spices more time to soak in. Just skewer and air fry when you’re ready to cook.
