Spicy Air Fryer Chicken Skewers with Bell Peppers

1.In a medium bowl, whisk together all the marinade ingredients: olive oil, lime juice, smoked paprika, chili powder, cumin, cayenne pepper, oregano, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper.

2.Add the cubed chicken breast to the marinade, ensuring every piece is thoroughly coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours, to allow the flavors to penetrate.

3.While the chicken marinates, prepare your skewers. If using wooden skewers, ensure they have been soaking.

4.Thread the marinated chicken cubes onto the skewers, alternating with pieces of red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, and red onion until the skewer is full, leaving about 1 inch free on each end.

5.Preheat your air fryer to 2000C (3900F).

6.Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray or brush lightly with oil to prevent sticking.

7.Place the skewers in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they do not overlap. You may need to cook in batches.

8.Air fry for 10 to 12 minutes, flipping the skewers halfway through the cooking time (around the 5 or 6-minute mark).

9.The chicken is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 740C (1650F) and the edges are slightly charred and caramelized. The vegetables should be tender-crisp.

10.Remove carefully from the air fryer and serve immediately. These skewers are excellent served with a side of fresh yogurt or salsa for dipping, if desired.
