Equipment

Ingredients

Chicken & Marinade

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken thighs cut into ½-inch chunks
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp paprika

Sauce:

  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 tbsp chopped parsley optional

Instructions

  • Cut your chicken thighs into ½-inch chunks. In a bowl, marinate with sesame oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika for at least 15 minutes.
  • Place the marinated chicken onto skewers, spacing the pieces evenly.
  • Lightly oil your air fryer basket and place the skewers in. Cook at 375°F (190°C) for 12 minutes, flipping halfway through if needed.
  • For the sauce, melt butter in a pan. Add minced garlic and honey, stirring for 1 minute, then add salt and parsley. Mix until smooth and glossy.
  • Brush the honey butter garlic sauce over the cooked skewers until evenly coated.
  • Serve on a plate and optionally brush on even more sauce.
