Air Fryer Chicken Kabobs
Air fryer chicken kabobs are delicious and very easy to make. They are super moist and flavoursome. My partner nearly finished them all if I didn't stop him!
Equipment
- 10 bamboo or metal skewers that fit your air fryer
- air fryer
Ingredients
- 900 g chicken thigh fillets, boneless and skinless
- 3 bell peppers, any colour
- 1 large onion
For the marinade:
- 1 teaspoon ground paprika
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ¾ teaspoon caraway seeds
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon chili flakes, to taste
- 1-2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoon lemon juice, from half a lemon
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
- Cut the chicken into same-size cubes (about an inch by inch). Mix the spices with garlic, lemon juice and olive oil, and coat the chicken in the marinade. Leave the marinated chicken to chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes, but optimally 3-12 hours.
- Wash and dice the vegetables (same size as the size of the chicken bites).
- Assemble the skewers with veg and meat, following the same pattern each time, if possible. Use any leftover marinade to brush the kebabs before air frying.
- Distribute the skewers evenly on a baking grill, basket or tray, and air fry at 200C/392F for 15-18 mins until slightly charred on top. Turn halfway through, brushing the kebabs slightly with leftover marinade. Ensure the chicken is fully cooked inside before serving (when cut into, the juices run clear). Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to do this in batches.
Notes
Possible swaps (1:1 ratio unless stated otherwise):
• Chicken breast fillets (boneless and skinless).
• 1,5 zucchini (courgette) instead of bell peppers.
• ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper instead of smoked paprika.
• Cumin instead of caraway seeds. Variations
• Add streaky bacon or halloumi cheese in between the layers. Top Tips: See article above the recipe. Cooking in the oven?
Preheat the oven to 200C (fan)/ 392F before you start assembling the kebabs. Line a deep baking tray with baking paper. Follow the same cooking instructions as above.
