These Air Fryer Tandoori Chicken Flatbreads are made from marinated chicken pieces cooked in the air fryer then served in a flatbread with homemade tzatziki, mango chutney, red onion and fresh parsley. Another great fakeaway.
Air fryers are consistently gaining in popularity and for good reason. They are easy to use, versatile and produce amazing results. With that in mind, we decided to make these Air Fryer Tandoori Chicken Flatbreads. The chicken thighs are marinated in a yoghurt spice mix, then cooked in the air fryer until golden and tender.
I made the flatbreads my self with my super easy and deeply satisfying Flatbreads recipe - be sure to check it out! For another great flatbread recipe, you must try my Lamb and Haloumi Wraps. Or if you're keen for more air fryer recipes, be sure to check out my Air Fryer Karaage Chicken!

Ingredient notes:
- Chicken: I used chicken thigh in this recipe. This cut of meat stays nice and succulent in the air fryer.
- Spices: Feel free to amend the spice level or combination to suit your individual needs.
- Flatbreads: I made my own flatbreads for this recipe. However store-bought flat breads work just as well.
Note: Scroll to the recipe card for the ingredients, quantities and the full method.
Step by step instructions:
Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces and place them in a bowl. Add the yoghurt, lemon juice, tomato paste and spices. Mix well to coat the chicken and marinate in the fridge for 30 mins or overnight.
Grate the cucumber, then squeeze out excess liquid. Combine the cucumber with yoghurt, garlic, red wine vinegar, and season with salt and pepper. Refrigerate while you cook the chicken.
Cook the chicken in an air fryer for 12-14 minutes at 200°C, or until cooked through.
Assemble the flatbreads by topping with tzatziki, cooked chicken, mango chutney, red onion and fresh coriander.
Wrap a piece of foil around the base of each wrap to hold it together and prevent drips.
If chicken wraps are your jam, why not give my Homemade McChicken Tacos a go? They're even better than the takeaways if you ask me!
Recipe FAQs:
Tandoori chicken is a popular dish in Indian cuisine, typically made by marinating chicken in a blend of yogurt and various spices, then cooking it at high heat in a tandoor, a traditional clay oven. But don't worry, you can achieve great tandoori-style chicken in the oven, on the grill or in this case - in the air fryer.
Pickled onions, any type of fresh herbs, grilled vegetables, lettuce or baby spinach, chilli sauce or tamarind chutney would all be good options in this wrap.
Storage:
The leftover components can be stored separately in airtight containers in the fridge for up to three days. Assemble more wraps with either hot or cold chicken.

Jane says
Hi, it would be nice to have added the salad bits onto include in the recipe.. rather than me just reading them now I am home (25 mins rurally out of town!) so that I could have easily added them to my shopping list. Seems kind of pointless making them now with half the suggested ingredients missing. Thanks
VJ cooks says
Where are you looking Jane? All the ingredients are listed in the recipe card.

There an error in this recipe with double temperatures just FYI (step 3 "Cook the chicken in an air fryer at 180°C for 12-14 minutes at 200°C" I went with 190 to satisfy both options 🙂 it's smelling yum
VJ cooks says
Thanks Nikki. It should read 200°C, I've updated the recipe card.
