Description
Super Easy Chicken Skewers in Air Fryer are juicy on the inside and lightly crispy on the outside. Coated with a simple honey BBQ glaze, these skewers cook quickly and deliver a flavorful, slightly sticky finish perfect for a fast meal.
Ingredients
2 large chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized cubes
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon honey
2 tablespoons BBQ sauce
wooden or metal skewers
Instructions
1. Place chicken pieces in a bowl, drizzle with olive oil, and season with garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper, mixing until evenly coated.
2. In a small bowl, combine honey and BBQ sauce until smooth and slightly thick.
3. Thread chicken pieces onto skewers, leaving a small gap between each piece for proper air circulation.
4. Preheat the air fryer to 375°F and place skewers in a single layer in the basket.
5. Cook for 10 to 12 minutes, turning halfway through to ensure even cooking and browning.
6. During the last few minutes, brush the honey BBQ glaze over the skewers and continue cooking until slightly sticky.
7. Remove from air fryer and let rest for a couple of minutes before serving so the juices settle.
Notes
Preheating the air fryer helps achieve a better crispy exterior.
Spacing chicken pieces on skewers improves airflow and even cooking.
Add glaze toward the end to prevent burning and maintain a glossy finish.
