With an appliance

• Air fryer 32 min

  Replace step 2: spray a very thin layer of oil onto the chicken skewers and run the steamer at 200 degrees for 8 minutes, turning after 5 minutes; this is about 4 minutes faster than an oven, the edges of the chicken will be more seared, but you'll have to divide them into batches if the basket is small.
