Honey Garlic Chicken Skewers (Air Fryer)
Marinated in a sweet and savory sauce, these Honey Garlic Chicken Skewers are so tasty and take only minutes in the air fryer to cook. That’s what I’m talking about.
A simple marinade flavors the chicken pieces with a wonderful soy, honey and garlic flavor. Then, simply skewer them, air fry them and you have an easy and mouth-watering dinner!
Start by soaking 6″ wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes. I didn’t have that length so I simple broke some longer ones to fit my air fryer.
Combine all of the marinade ingredients together in a large bowl. Place the chicken pieces in a zip-lock bag and add HALF of the marinade to the bag (reserve the remaining marinade to make a glaze). Seal the bag, ensuring that all of the chicken is coated with the marinade, and place in the fridge for at least 4 hours.
With the remaining marinade, simmer it in a small saucepan until slightly reduced. Remove it from the heat and set it aside.
Once the chicken has been marinaded, thread 7-8 pieces on a skewer and place them in the air fryer, about 1/2-inch apart. Brush with glaze.
Air fry for about 15 minutes, flipping and brushing with more glaze halfway through.
Remove from air fryer and brush with remaining glaze. Transfer the skewers to a platter, top with green onions and serve!

Remove skewers from air fryer basket and brush with glaze once more. Transfer skewers to a serving dish, top with green onion and serve.
