Preparation

### Ingredients
* **Pre-marinated Chicken Tikka:** 100 g
* **Cooking oil:** 1 teaspoon (for brushing/spraying)
* **Salt:** A pinch (optional, to taste)

### Prep Notes
* **Temperature Adjustment:** If the chicken tikka is frozen, thaw it completely in the refrigerator before cooking to ensure even heat distribution.
* **Room Temperature:** Let the marinated chicken sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before air frying for a juicier result.

### Cooking Steps

1. **Preheat the Air Fryer:** Set your air fryer to 380°F (190°C) and let it preheat for 3 to 5 minutes.
2. **Prepare the Chicken:** Lightly brush or spray the chicken tikka pieces with 1 teaspoon of cooking oil. This helps seal in the moisture and gives the exterior a nice char. Add a tiny pinch of salt if desired.
3. **Arrange in the Basket:** Place the 100g of chicken tikka in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Ensure the pieces are not overlapping so the hot air can circulate evenly.
4. **Air Fry:** Cook at 380°F (190°C) for 8 to 10 minutes.
5. **Flip Halfway:** At the 5-minute mark, pull out the basket and use tongs to flip the chicken pieces over to ensure even browning on both sides.
6. **Check Doneness:** The chicken is done when the edges are slightly charred and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
7. **Rest and Serve:** Remove the chicken tikka from the air fryer and let it rest for 2 minutes before serving to keep the meat tender and juicy.
