Scale
Chicken Skewers:
- 1½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cut into 1½-inch cubes)
- 1 tablespoon Old Bay seasoning
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Additional:
- Wooden or metal skewers
- Lemon wedges (for serving)
- Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning. In a large bowl, combine the chicken cubes, Old Bay seasoning, olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and black pepper. Toss until the chicken is evenly coated.
- Skewer the Chicken: Thread the seasoned chicken onto skewers, leaving space between pieces for even cooking.
- Cook in Air Fryer: Preheat the air fryer to 375°F. Place the skewers in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for 10–12 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley and lemon wedges before serving.
