Stages of cooking
-
Combine chicken strips, marinade, and Cajun seasoning in a resealable plastic bag. Refrigerate for 8 hours 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.
