air fryer

Ingredients

2 lbs chicken breasts cut into 1-inch chunks
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon paprika
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper optional
1 teaspoon Kosher salt or to taste
½ cup bbq sauce
nonstick spray

Instructions

If using wooden skewers, make sure to soak them in water for at least 30 minutes otherwise, they can burn. I used 6-inch bamboo skewers.
Slice the chicken into 1-inch pieces and trim off any fat.
Add the chicken pieces to a large bowl along with the spices, salt, and olive oil. Mix well.
Thread chicken onto skewers. I did about 4 chicken pieces per skewer.
Spray your air fryer basket with nonstick spray.
Place the chicken kabobs in the air fryer basket and cook for 5 minutes at 400 degrees f.
Once the 5 minutes are up, brush the chicken with bbq sauce on all sides and cook for an additional 7 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F.
Enjoy!

Notes

Don't have bamboo skewers? No problem, simply place the chicken chunks in the air fryer, leaving some space between each chicken piece.
Make sure to soak the bamboo skewers in water for a few minutes before threading the chicken otherwise, they may overheat and burn.
Cook the chicken for 5 minutes before brushing it with bbq sauce otherwise, the chicken will burn. BBQ sauce contains sugar and sugar has a tendency to burn quickly when exposed to high heat.
