Air-Fryer Sweet Chilli Pork Skewer Trays preparation stage

You’ll Need

600g pork loin or pork shoulder, cut into bite-sized chunks
1 tbsp olive oil
For the Marinade
3 tbsp sweet chilli sauce
1 tbsp soy sauce
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp honey
½ tsp black pepper
1 tsp sea salt
Juice of half a lime
To Finish
2 spring onions, sliced
Sesame seeds
Lime wedges
Optional but Dangerous
Steamed rice
Garlic mayo
Pickled chillies
Sriracha drizzle

Method

1 - Preheat your air fryer to 200°C. 2 - In a large bowl, mix together the sweet chilli sauce, soy sauce, garlic, smoked paprika, honey, black pepper, salt, and lime juice. 3 - Add the pork and coat thoroughly until every piece is loaded with marinade. 4 - Leave for 20 minutes if you've got time. If not, crack on. 5 - Thread the pork onto skewers, leaving small gaps between the pieces for airflow. 6 - Place the skewers into the air fryer basket in a single layer. 7 - Air fry at 200°C for 10–12 minutes, turning halfway through. 8 - During the final 2 minutes, brush over any remaining marinade so it caramelises onto the pork. 9 - Continue cooking until the pork develops dark sticky edges and is cooked through. 10 - Finish with spring onions, sesame seeds, and lime wedges. Serve immediately while hot, sticky, and slightly too easy to keep eating.

Lad Tip: The little charred sticky bits around the edges are where the magic lives. Don't panic when the sweet chilli glaze starts darkening. That's exactly what you're chasing. If the skewers look slightly aggressive by the end, you've done it properly.
