Steps
- 1
Pound chicken thin (1/4 inch) and cut into 1-inch wide strips. Thread onto skewers accordion-style.
- 2
Dredge in flour, dip in egg, coat in breadcrumb-Parmesan mixture. Press firmly.
- 3
Spray with oil. Air fry at 400°F for 12-14 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and cooked through.
- 4
Sauté garlic in melted butter 30 seconds. Add lemon juice and capers.
- 5
Drizzle lemon garlic butter over spiedini. Garnish with parsley.
Tip: Pounding the chicken thin is essential — thick pieces won't cook through before the breading burns. Thread the chicken accordion-style on the skewer so it stays compact and cooks evenly.
Why Air Fry This?
- ⏱️Ready in 15 minutes vs ~27 in a conventional oven — no preheating needed.
- 🌡️Concentrated heat circulation produces even browning and a crispier crust than a full-size oven.
- 🍖Circulating hot air renders fat and seals in juices for a crispier outside and tender inside.
