Air Fryer Jerk Chicken With Spicy Bbq Sauce Food

SPICY CHICKEN JERKY IN THE AIR FRYER

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.

SMOKY AND SPICY JERK-MARINATED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Mix brown sugar, salt, sesame seeds, black pepper, red pepper flakes, chili powder, thyme, coriander, allspice, ginger, nutmeg, cinnamon, and cloves together in a bowl.
• Mix Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, lime juice, molasses, and liquid smoke together in a separate bowl. Combine with the spice blend to make the marinade.
• Remove tenderloins from chicken breasts and cut the rest of the breasts in half. Reserve about 1/4 of the rub; coat chicken with the remainder and marinate 4 hours to overnight.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate. Grill marinated chicken pieces over direct heat until no longer pink in the centers, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Serve with reserved marinade.
