Good to know

Chef's tip

For perfectly golden skewers and even cooking, don't overcrowd your air fryer basket. If needed, cook the skewers in batches. You can also line the bottom of the basket with perforated parchment paper to make cleanup easier.

Freezing : Can you freeze this recipe?

Yes

Works very well, raw (marinade included) or cooked. Up to 3 months in vacuum zip bags.

Storage : How long does it keep?

Keeps 3 to 4 days max once cooked in an airtight container in the fridge.

Making ahead : Can you make it the day before?

Yes

The chicken marinade can be made the day before to infuse the flavors. Assemble just before cooking.

Reheating : How do you reheat it?

Oven at 180°C for 10-15 minutes, or air fryer 8-10 minutes at 170°C. Microwave is possible at medium power (less ideal texture).

Variations

Serve with lemon wedges for a little acidity.
Marinate for more than an hour for a more intense flavor.
Cook in batches if the basket is too small.

Mistakes to avoid

Skipping the marinade: allow at least 1 hour in the refrigerator.
Overcrowding the basket: cook in batches if needed.
Forgetting to flip the skewers halfway through: they brown unevenly.

Frequently asked questions

How long should you marinate the chicken?

Marinate the chicken cubes for at least 1 hour in the refrigerator in the olive oil, garlic, lemon, thyme and parsley. A longer marinade gives an even more intense flavor.

How long do you cook the skewers in the air fryer?

Preheat the air fryer to 190°C for 5 minutes, then cook the skewers for 15 to 18 minutes, flipping them halfway through, for even cooking and nice browning.

How do you build the skewers?

Cut the red and green bell peppers and the red onion into pieces similar in size to the chicken cubes, then thread them onto the skewers, alternating chicken and vegetables.

Can you cook all the skewers at once?

It depends on the size of the basket: make sure not to overcrowd it, even if that means cooking the skewers in batches, so the hot air circulates well around each piece.
