Instructions

- Mix the jerk seasoning to coat all your chicken pieces
- Assemble your skewers leaving room at the bottom for your fingers
- Start cooking your rice now!
- Air fry 4 skewers at a time at 400 for 15 minutes, flipping half way or whenever it beeps at you
- Whisk your sauce ingredients in a sauce pan on high. Once comes to a boil, turn down to low
- Take your pineapple chunks and fry in a pan on high to brown. I poured a bit of the jerk chicken juices from the air fryer into the fry pan and they turned out perfect!
- When your chicken skewers are cooked, place onto a cookie or broiler sheet and repeat the process with all your skewers
- Once all of your chicken skewers are all cooked, take a basting brush and coat with your sauce. Leaving some sauce aside.
