Tandoori Chicken in the Philips Air Fryer Healthy cooking....one spoon oil for frying... Last November my son gifted Philips Air Fryer to his mother on her birth day. We hardly used it and that too occasionally to fry the fish, fish fillets and fry potato chips. That's all. Rest of time it remained idle on the kitchen platform, next to the microwave.
