Do I need to preheat the air fryer?

For best results, yes – preheating helps achieve an even cook and gives the halloumi that golden crust.

What marinade should I use for the Nando’s flavour?

Use a Nando’s-style marinade or a shop-bought Peri-Peri sauce. Marinate your chicken for at least 30 minutes (or overnight) for maximum flavour.

Can I use wooden skewers in the air fryer?

Yes, but soak wooden skewers in water for 20–30 minutes first to prevent burning. Alternatively, use metal skewers.

Can I cook these skewers without skewers?

Absolutely – just air fry the chicken and halloumi pieces separately on a tray, turning them midway through cooking.

Can I make this recipe dairy-free?

To make it dairy-free, simply leave out the halloumi or swap it for a dairy-free alternative like tofu.

What should I serve with chicken and halloumi skewers?

Pair with rice, flatbreads, corn on the cob, or a fresh salad. You could also serve with Nando’s-style spicy rice for the full fakeaway experience.

Is this recipe good for meal prep?

Yes – you can prep and marinate the skewers ahead of time, then cook them fresh in the air fryer when needed. Great for quick midweek meals or summer BBQ alternatives.

Can I make this recipe spicier or milder?

Definitely – just adjust the Peri-Peri marinade strength to your liking, from lemon & herb to extra hot depending on how spicy you like it.
