Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, mix together all the ingredients for the marinade. Add the chicken thighs and mix well, coating the chicken in the marinade. Cover and marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes or up to 12 hours.
- When ready to cook, preheat a large air fryer to 200°C, spray with a little oil and dust with a little Schwartz Cajun Seasoning.
- To assemble the shashilick, skewer a piece of pepper with 2 skewers, add a thigh ensuring the meat is spread out, followed by another piece of pepper and thigh before finishing with a pepper. Ensure the meat is not too tightly packed otherwise it will be difficult to cook through. Repeat with the remaining skewers until you have 4 sets.
- Place the skewers into the air fryer in a single layer (you may need to do in batches) for about 15 minutes or until the skewers are cooked through and lightly caramelised.
- Leave to rest for 5 minutes before de-skewering. Serve with warm naan, mixed salad, a drizzle of chilli sauce and freshly chopped coriander, if wished. Cooking Tip Be sure your skewers will fit in your airfryer! Test fit a skewer in the air fryer before pre-heating. If using wooden skewers, soak in water for 30 minutes before using.
