Description

This spicy chicken jerky recipe is made in the air fryer and flavored with mojo criollo marinade and Cajun seasoning.

Ingredients

2 (5 ounce) boneless chicken breasts, cut into strips
1/2 cup mojo criollo marinade (such as Goya®)
2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning
6 wooden skewers

Directions

1 Combine chicken strips, marinade, and Cajun seasoning in a resealable plastic bag. Refrigerate for 8 hours to overnight.
2 Measure skewers to fit across the air fryer basket, slightly overlapping the edge. Trim off excess length.
3 Preheat the air fryer to 180 degrees F (80 degrees C) for 10 minutes.
4 Thread chicken strips onto skewers, leaving room in between each strip, while the air fryer is preheating.
5 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.
6 Increase temperature to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C) and air fry for an additional 15 minutes.
7 Remove strips to a paper towel-lined storage container. Seal. Allow to rest overnight before serving.
