Blend the aromatics

• Add the onion, bell pepper, cilantro, garlic, pepper paste and oil to a food processor.
• Blend until the mixture comes together into a coarse paste.

Mix the chicken filling

• Add the blended mixture to the ground chicken along with the spices.
• Mix really well until evenly combined.

Chill the mixture

• Cover and refrigerate the mixture so it firms up and holds its shape.

Form the kabobs

• With wet hands, shape the mixture around bamboo skewers, or form them by hand into logs if you don't have skewers.

Air fry the kabobs

• Place the kabobs in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
• Cook until golden and cooked through, turning halfway.

Finish and serve

• Brush the tops of the kabobs with melted butter.
• Top with lemon juice, sumac and fresh cilantro.
• Serve and enjoy.
