Moorish skewers recipe in a airfryer

Today in BiteMyRecipe We have prepared a recipe for Moorish skewers in a airfryer that is very easy, fast and ideal for summer meals!

The Moorish skewers are a traditional recipe from Morocco but it has its adaptation in Andalusia.

They can be prepared as rbochetas in the pan, on barbecues, on charcoal or with sauce.

This recipe for Moorish skewers in a airfryer It is homemade, traditional and they are prepared with chicken.

I have cooked everything in my 5.5L Innsky air fryer.

You do not need anything more than chicken meat and spices to give the flavor to the Moorish pinchitos.

You can also buy prepared skewers from the butcher shop and cook them.

This recipe for pinchitos morunos is healthier than the authentic one and with fewer calories.

I highly recommend trying other air fryer recipes like the Air Fryer Tenderloin Recipe or the Air Fryer Breaded Chicken Tenderloin Recipe

Tips for a good recipe for Moorish skewers in a airfryer

• The longer you marinate the chicken, the more flavor it will have.
• Measure the fryer well to cut the sticks a little smaller and be able to remove them without problem
• Do not forget to place baking paper or aluminum so as not to stain the fryer since turmeric releases a lot of color
• Check that the chicken is well cooked by opening a piece (mine were quite small)
• If you already have the Moorish skewers purchased and assembled, you only have to cook them at the same temperature and time
