Instructions
-
Prepare the Chicken: Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized chunks. Thread the chicken onto skewers, using about 4 pieces per skewer.
-
Season the Chicken: Sprinkle the chicken with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and BBQ seasoning. Let the skewers marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to enhance the flavor.
-
Air Fry the Skewers: Preheat the air fryer and lightly spray the skewers with olive oil. Place the skewers in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 7 minutes.
-
Add BBQ Sauce: After 7 minutes, brush the chicken with BBQ sauce, flip the skewers, and brush the other side with more BBQ sauce. Continue cooking for another 5-10 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked and golden brown.
-
Serve: Remove the skewers from the air fryer and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve hot with your favorite sides.
Notes
Add Vegetables: You can add bell peppers, onions, or zucchini to the skewers for a colorful and flavorful kabob.
Different Marinades: Experiment with marinades like teriyaki or lemon herb for a different flavor profile.
Chicken Breast Alternative: Chicken breast can be used instead of thighs, but be careful not to overcook it, as it tends to be drier than thighs.
