Time 17h40m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 (5 ounce) boneless chicken breasts, cut into strips
½ cup mojo criollo marinade (such as Goya®)
2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning
wooden skewers

Steps:

  • Combine chicken strips, marinade, and Cajun seasoning in a resealable plastic bag. Refrigerate for 8 hours, or up to overnight.
  • Measure skewers to fit across the air fryer basket, slightly overlapping the edge. Trim off excess length.
  • Preheat the air fryer to 180 degrees F (80 degrees C) for 10 minutes.
  • Thread chicken strips onto skewers, leaving room in between each strip, while the air fryer is preheating.
  • 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.
  • Increase temperature to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C) and air fry for an additional 15 minutes.
  • Remove strips to a paper towel-lined storage container. Seal. Allow to rest overnight before serving.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I made a big batch of chicken breast in the slow cooker and then used the leftovers to make this jerky. It was a great way to use up the chicken and it was delicious!

I was a little hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of spicy food. But I was pleasantly surprised! The chicken wasn't too spicy and it had a really nice flavor.
