  • Author: Chef Ethan Sam
  • Total Time: 12 minute

Ingredients

– 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 2 tablespoons lemon juice
– 1 tablespoon lemon zest
– 1 tablespoon black pepper
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon onion powder
– 1 teaspoon salt
– Wooden or metal skewers


Instructions

Creating Air Fryer Lemon Pepper Chicken Skewers is a simple process that anyone can master. Follow these easy steps:

1. Prepare the Chicken: Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces, approximately 1 to 1.5 inches.
2. Make the Marinade: In a bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt until well combined.
3. Marinate the Chicken: Add the chicken pieces to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover and let it marinate for at least 15 minutes (or up to 2 hours for more flavor).
4. Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
5. Skewer the Chicken: Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the skewers, leaving a little space between each piece for even cooking.
6. Arrange in the Air Fryer: Place the chicken skewers in the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure they don’t overlap.
7. Cook the Skewers: Air fry the chicken skewers for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through to ensure even cooking.
8. Check for Doneness: Ensure the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (75°C) before removing it from the air fryer.
9. Let Rest: Allow the skewers to rest for a couple of minutes to lock in the juices.
10. Serve: Serve the skewers hot, garnished with fresh lemon wedges or herbs if desired.

These straightforward steps will guide you in creating perfectly cooked Air Fryer Lemon Pepper Chicken Skewers every time.
