🍢 Air Fryer Chicken Skewers 🥰
Air Fryer Chicken Skewers are a quick, flavorful way to enjoy juicy, tender chicken with colorful veggies. Perfect for weeknight dinners, meal prep, or backyard-style meals without the grill!
Ingredients :
1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp smoked paprika
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper
Bell peppers and onions, cut into chunks (optional, for threading)
Wooden or metal skewers
🔥 Instructions
Marinate the Chicken
In a large bowl, mix olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Add chicken pieces and toss to coat evenly. Let marinate for at least 15–30 minutes (optional but recommended).
Assemble the Skewers
Thread the marinated chicken cubes onto skewers, alternating with pieces of bell pepper and onion if using.
Preheat the Air Fryer
Set your air fryer to 360°F (182°C).
Cook the Skewers
Place skewers in the air fryer basket without overcrowding.
Cook for 10–12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is golden and cooked through (internal temp: 165°F/74°C).
Serve & Enjoy
Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce like tzatziki, ranch, or spicy mayo. Pairs perfectly with rice, salad, or grilled veggies.
💡 Tips & Notes
Soak wooden skewers in water for 20 minutes before cooking to prevent burning.
Swap chicken breasts for chicken thighs for extra juiciness.
Try different seasonings like lemon-pepper or Cajun for variety.
