Air Fryer Spicy Chicken Jerky
Ingredients
  • 2 (5 ounce) boneless chicken breasts, cut into strips
  • 1/2 cup mojo criollo marinade (such as Goya®)
  • 2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning
  • 6 wooden skewers
Instructions
1
Combine chicken strips, marinade, and Cajun seasoning in a sealed container to marinate for 8 hours or overnight.
2
Prepare the air fryer by measuring skewers that fit snugly across its basket, with a slight overlap at the edges. Remove any excess length.
3
Preheat the air fryer to 180 degrees Fahrenheit for 10 minutes, allowing it to reach optimal temperature.
4
Thread chicken strips onto skewers during the preheating period, leaving space between each piece for even cooking.
5
Air fry the chicken strips for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the desired level of doneness is reached. Note that most air fryers have a maximum time setting of 30 minutes, so adjust accordingly.
6
During the reset period, rearrange the skewers to ensure even cooking and browning.
7
Increase the air fryer temperature to 200 degrees Fahrenheit for an additional 15 minutes, resulting in crispy and well-cooked chicken strips.
8
Transfer the cooked chicken strips to a paper towel-lined container for storage, seal it tightly, and allow it to rest overnight before serving.
