Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 lbs chicken breast cut into bite-size pieces
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • Wooden or metal skewers
Sauce:
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup sweet chili sauce
  • 1 –2 tsp hot sauce adjust to taste
  • 1 tsp honey optional for extra sweetness

Method
 

  1. Soak wooden skewers in water if using to prevent burning.
  2. Toss chicken pieces with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  3. Thread chicken onto skewers evenly without packing too tightly.
  4. Preheat air fryer to 380°F (190°C).
  5. Air fry skewers for 12–15 minutes, flipping halfway, until chicken is cooked through and slightly crisp on edges.
  6. In a bowl, mix mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, hot sauce, and honey until smooth.
  7. Brush or drizzle sauce over cooked chicken skewers and serve immediately.

Notes

Don’t add sauce before air frying or it will burn. For meal prep, store sauce separately and coat before eating. Reheat skewers in air fryer for best texture instead of microwave.
