Frequently Asked Questions
Can I Use Chicken Thighs Instead of Chicken Breast?
Absolutely! You can use either boneless chicken breast or boneless chicken thighs for this recipe. Chicken thighs are especially delicious because they tend to stay juicy and tender when fried.
Can I Prepare the Chicken Ahead of Time?
Yes, you can! You can season the chicken with the chili powder, pepper, salt, garlic, milk, and starch ahead of time and keep it covered in the refrigerator until you are ready to assemble the skewers. For the best quality, cook it within 24 hours.
Can I Make Chicken Potato Skewers in an Air Fryer?
Yes, you can! Lightly brush or spray the assembled skewers with oil and place them in a single layer in the air fryer. Cook at approximately 375°F (190°C), turning halfway through, until the potatoes are crispy and the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). The cooking time will depend on the size of the chicken pieces and the thickness of the potatoes.
How to Store Chicken Potato Skewers
The cooked chicken potato skewers should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 to 4 days. To reheat them, place them in an air fryer or oven until heated through and crispy again. Avoid using the microwave if you want to maintain their crispy potato exterior.
