Description

Chicken jerky? Who knew? And who knew you could make jerky in an air fryer? Plan ahead for this snack as the chicken needs time to marinate and air fry.

Ingredients
  • 2 (5 ounce) boneless chicken breasts, cut into strips
  • ½ cup mojo criollo marinade (such as Goya®)
  • 2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning
  • wooden skewers
Directions
  1. 1. Combine chicken strips, marinade, and Cajun seasoning in a resealable plastic bag. Refrigerate for 8 hours, or up to overnight.
  2. 2. Measure skewers to fit across the air fryer basket, slightly overlapping the edge. Trim off excess length.
  3. 3. Preheat the air fryer to 180 degrees F (80 degrees C) for 10 minutes.
  4. 4. Thread chicken strips onto skewers, leaving room in between each strip, while the air fryer is preheating.
  5. 5. Air fry for 1 hour 15 minutes. Adjust cooking time as most air fryers have a maximum setting of 30 minutes. Rearrange the skewers during the reset time.
  6. 6. Increase temperature to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C) and air fry for an additional 15 minutes.
  7. 7. Remove strips to a paper towel-lined storage container. Seal. Allow to rest overnight before serving.
