Air Fryer Chicken Skewers
Air fryer chicken skewers are easy to make and full of flavor. The yogurt marinade keeps the chicken juicy and delicious.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken breast cut into cubes 1.5 inches big
- ⅓ cup Greek yogurt plain and unsweetened
- ½ lemon zest and juice
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon tandoori spice
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Soak your chicken skewers in water. (You will need 4-6 chicken skewers, so soak at least 6).
- To a large bowl, add seasonings, lemon zest and juice from half a lemon, yogurt, and olive oil. Stir to combine.
- Cut chicken into 1.5 inch cubes and add to the marinade. Stir to combine. Let marinade for at least 15 minutes.
- Preheat your air fryer for 5 minutes at 400 degrees F. While air fryer preheats, add chicken to the skewers, fitting as many pieces as you want on each skewer. I like to leave a little room at the top and bottom for holding/flipping.
- Add skewers to the air fryer in a single layer. Cook at 400 degrees F for 10 minutes, then flip and cook for an additional 8 minutes. Remove and enjoy.
Notes
- This recipe can serve 2 or more depending on how many skewers you want to serve per person.
- All air fryers cook differently. Adjust cook time if needed.
- Don't skip the step on soaking the skewers! This will keep them from burning in the air fryer.
- Make sure you get wooden skewers that will fit in your air fryer.
