Air fryer chicken skewers are easy to make and full of flavor. The yogurt marinade keeps the chicken juicy and delicious.
I love a good chicken skewer. They are just so fun to eat, and so flavorful if you add some good spices. And it should be a surpose to no one that my favorite way to cook them are in the air fryer.
They turn out so juicy and delicious, and cook up quickly. I love pairing air fryer chicken skewers with a cucumber tomato salad and some rice, potatoes, or hummus. It makes an easy air fryer lunch or dinner!

How to make air fryer chicken skewers
First, soak your chicken skewers in water. (You will need 4-6 chicken skewers, so soak at least 6). Add seasonings, lemon zest and juice, yogurt, and olive oil to a large bowl.
Stir to combine.
Cube chicken into chunks about 1.5 inches big and add to the marinade. Stir to combine. Let marinade for 15-20 minutes.
Preheat your air fryer for 5 minutes at 400 degrees F. While air fryer preheats, add chicken to the skewers. I have found that 5 skewers fit perfectly in my air fryer, so I typically do 5 skewers.
Add chicken skewers to air fryer basket in a single layer.
Cook at 400 degrees F for 10 minutes, then flip and cook for an additional 8 minutes.
Enjoy!
