Equipment

Ingredients

For the Chicken:

  • 2 pounds chicken thighs
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika

For the Lemon Butter Sauce:

  • 1.5 tablespoons butter slightly melted
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon sugar

Instructions

  • In a small mixing bowl combine all the spices for the chicken.
  • Cut chicken thighs into 1" cubes and coat with the spices. Load 6, 6 inch skewers with about 5 ounces of chicken each.
  • Place in the air fry 12 minutes at 400 degrees.
  • Mix butter sauce ingredients in a small mixing bowl. When chicken skewers are done coat them generously with the butter sauce. Serve immediately.

Notes

Don't forget to soak your skewers before loading them with the chicken! I had to trim mine down to fit in the air fryer.
