Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoon chilli sauce
  • 2 tablespoons sweet chilli sauce
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 450 grams chicken thighs (cut into ¾ inch wide x 1 ¼ inch long pieces)
  • 1 tablespoon grated garlic
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon crushed pepper
  • 1 tablespoon kashmiri chilli powder
  • 4-5 skewers

Method
 

  1. Take all the ingredients for the sauce mix in a bowl, mix well & set aside.
  2. Add chicken to a bowl. Add garlic, salt, pepper & chilli powder, 2 tablespoons of sauce mix and mix well to marinate the chicken. Set aside for 25-30 minutes.
  3. Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the skewers. Make 3-4 skewers.
  4. Pre-heat the airfryer to 200C and brush the basket with oil. Place the chicken skewers on the basket with some gap in between, spray or drizzle oil and air fry at 200C for 3 minutes until they are cooked through. brush with sauce mix & air fry at 200C for 2 minutes, flip the skewers, brush with sauce mix and air fry at 200C for 2-3 minutes until they are slightly browned around the edges.
  5. Garnish with sesame seeds & spring onion greens.

Notes

- For extra tender chicken, don't overcook. Chicken thighs are forgiving, but air frying for too long can dry them out. The internal temperature of chicken should reach 165°F (74°C) for food safety.
- If you don't have an air fryer, these can be grilled or baked. Grill at medium-high heat for 8-10 minutes, flipping often. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes, brushing with sauce halfway through.
- Make ahead: The chicken can be marinated for up to 24 hours in the refrigerator. Store leftover cooked skewers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the air fryer or microwave.
