Serves: 4 – 5
Cook time: 30 min
Difficulty: easy
Ingredients
- 2 pounds (1 kg) boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 5 tablespoons butter
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- Fresh herbs (such as rosemary, sage, thyme, parsley, or oregano), finely chopped
Step-by-step
1
In a bowl, toss the chicken chunks with salt, pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and olive oil until all the pieces are evenly coated.
2
Thread the seasoned chicken onto skewers. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning during cooking.
3
Set the air fryer to 390°F (200°C).
4
Place the skewers in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for 12-13 minutes on each side or until the chicken is golden brown and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
5
While the chicken is cooking, add the minced garlic, finely chopped fresh herbs and the butter in a small saucepan. Simmer for 2-3 minutes over the low heat allowing the flavors to infuse.
6
When the chicken is done, brush the skewers generously with the herb-infused butter while they are still hot. This step adds extra flavor and keeps the chicken juicy.
7
Serve the skewers warm, optionally garnished with additional fresh herbs.
