Ingredients
- chicken400 g cubed
- lemon1 juiced
- olive oil2 tbsp
- garlic3 cloves minced
- oregano1 tsp
- capsicum1 cup chunks
Method
Marinate
Mix the lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, oregano and a pinch of salt. Coat the chicken cubes and rest for 15 min. The lemon and oil work into the meat so it stays moist, and they carry the herb flavour deep into each piece.
Thread the skewers
Thread the chicken and capsicum chunks onto short skewers, leaving a small gap between the pieces. The gaps let hot air circle each chunk, so they cook evenly and the capsicum softens without steaming the chicken.
Lay them across
Rest the skewers across the basket in a single layer so heat reaches all sides. Keeping them off each other stops soggy touching spots, so every face dries out and catches a light golden char.
Grill and check
Air fry at 195°C for 16 min, turning halfway, until the chicken is charred at the edges and the juices run clear with no pink inside. Rest for 2 min before serving so the juices settle back through the meat.
