Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs cut into 1-inch pieces.
  • 1 cup BBQ sauce
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tbsp avocado oil
  • 2-3 tbsp BBQ seasoning blend
  • 5 wooden skewers soaked in water for 30 minutes

Method
 

Preparing the Chicken Marinade
  1. Preheat your air fryer to 400F.
  2. Chop chicken into 1 inch pieces. Place the chicken in a bowl and add oil, seasonings, and 2 tbsp honey. Mix well, making sure the chicken is well coated.
  3. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or more.
Cooking the Chicken
  1. Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the soaked wooden skewers tightly. This will help keep them moist and juicy!
  2. Place the chicken skewers in the air fryer and cook for about 12 minutes.
  3. Baste with BBQ sauce, flip to the other side and baste with more bbq sauce.
  4. Cook for another 10 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.
  5. During the last few minutes of cooking, flip back over to the top and brush on some additional BBQ sauce for extra flavor and a nice glaze.
  6. Serve warm and enjoy!
