Ingredients
 

  • 1 kg chicken thighs or chicken breast, boneless and skinless
  • 2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 1/4 teaspoon curry powder
  • 1 teaspoon allspice
  • 1.5 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 4 tablespoon ketchup
  • 2 tablespoon vinegar

Vegetables for Skewering

  • 1 red pepper, optional
  • 1 red onion, optional
  • 2 small zucchini, optional

Instructions
 

  • In a large dish filled with water, soak the bamboo skewers for 15 minutes. If you need to cut the skewers down to fit your air fryer, do so before soaking
  • Cut the boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts into skewer sized pieces, roughly 1.5 inches in size. Try to cut them evenly to ensure an even cook.
  • Combine the chicken with all the spices along with the ketchup and vinegar
  • Mix well and marinate for a minimum of 1 hour or overnight for maximum flavour. If you don't have time, you can use them right away as well
  • Slice the zucchini into rounds if using
  • Chop the onion and red pepper into skewer sized pieces if using
  • Skewer the chicken alternating with the zucchini, red pepper and onion. Alternatively, simply skewer the chicken pieces if using only chicken
  • Lightly spray your air fryer with oil. Place the skewers in the air fryer basket in one layer
  • Air fry the skewers at 380 F for 12-13 minutes, turning over halfway if needed
  • Serve right away and enjoy!

Notes

  • Recipe makes 13-15 skewers if using just chicken and 20 if skewers with the vegetables.
  • If you don't have an air fryer, you can also grill them over the stove top or on an outdoor grill for 3-4 minutes on each side until cooked through.
