Air Fryer Chicken Skewers


Air Fryers have changed the joy of cooking; obviously more joyful when it’s done with less effort, more flavors in much less time and almost perfect every time when the recipe id full proof.


This is a full proof recipe for making quick and easy Air Fryer Chicken Skewers that comes out so juicy and tender. To add extra flavor and deliciousness I always apply a simple homemade Garlic & Herb Butter to the chicken pieces when they are either halfway done or even after grilling. It works great in both ways. It takes just few minutes to gather and prepare the ingredients. An hour of marination is good enough nut if you have time or want to make it ahead of time, you can marinade the chicken overnight helping the flavors blend even more.



Supplies

Here’s what you need to make delicious flavorful chicken skewers in the Air fryer.

To make this delicious Air fryer Chicken grill, you’ll need the following ingredients:

  • Chicken – I like to use Chicken thigh pieces as they are more juicy and cook well in high heat.
  • Salt
  • Black Pepper – Freshly ground black pepper powder will give more flavor.
  • Garlic Powder or Granules – Both garlic powder and granules works well with this recipe. Do not add a lot as the flavored butter also has Garlic in it.
  • Ginger powder – Adds more flavor to the grill.
  • Onion Powder or Granules – This is optional but works great in enhancing the flavor of these chicken skewers.
  • Paprika – Adds smokiness and color to these air fryer chicken skewers.
  • Cayenne Pepper – Adds heat to the recipe but you might want to skip if kids are not tolerant to hot food.
  • Olive Oil – Other variety of oil also works fine such as Avocado oil, Rapeseed oil and even Canola and Sunflower.


Here’s what you need to make for making aromatic Garlic herb butter.

  • Butter – Use unsalted butter and add salt according to your taste.
  • Salt – Using salt in this flavored butter is optional but usually gives better taste.
  • Coriander – You may use any other herb of your choice.
  • Garlic – Always use fresh garlic for unbeatable aroma.

  • Airtight Container: Place in an airtight container. You can use a resealable plastic bag for batching.
  • Separation: If you’re stacking the skewers, consider placing a piece of parchment paper or plastic wrap between the layers to prevent sticking.
  • Refrigeration: Store the container in the refrigerator. The chicken skewers can be refrigerated for up to 3-4 days.
  • Freezing: Store the container in the freezer and they can be stored for up to 1 month.
  • Labeling: We recommend to label the container with the date so you can keep track of freshness.

Air fryer chicken skewers are juicy and tender which pairs really well with lots of dishes. They go well as wraps using Tortilla wraps and Pita. They are also very delicious with rice with coleslaw or salad served on side. For a healthy weight watching dinner serve them on green salad and raita as sauce. And last of all just chicken skewers and chips does well as well.
