Ingredients
1.5 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into 1-inch cubes
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon lemon zest
3 cloves garlic, minced
1.5 tablespoons lemon pepper seasoning
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
Fresh parsley for garnish
Wooden or metal skewers
Instructions
Step 1: Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 20 minutes to prevent charring in the air fryer.
Step 2: In a large bowl, combine the chicken cubes, olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, lemon pepper seasoning, oregano, and salt.
Step 3: Toss the chicken thoroughly until every piece is well-coated in the marinade. Let it marinate for 15-30 minutes for the best flavor.
Step 4: Thread the chicken pieces onto the skewers, leaving a small gap between pieces to ensure even airflow and browning.
Step 5: Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (193°C).
Step 6: Place the skewers in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Step 7: Garnish with fresh parsley and serve your air fryer lemon pepper chicken skewers warm.
Notes
Ensure chicken is cut into even sizes for consistent cooking. Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket.
