Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

Begin by cutting the boneless skinless chicken thighs into 1-inch bite-sized chunks.
Thread approximately four pieces of the chicken onto each skewer, making sure not to overcrowd them.
Generously rub kosher salt, ground black pepper, garlic powder, and BBQ seasoning over the skewered chicken.
While the skewers are marinating, preheat your air fryer to 370°F (188°C).
Once the air fryer is preheated, place the skewers in the basket without overlapping them to promote even cooking.
When the skewers are fully cooked and golden, remove them from the air fryer and let them rest for a few minutes.
