Chicken Skewers on the BBQ
- Preheat your BBQ to medium-high heat.
- Place the skewers on the grill, turning occasionally until chicken is fully cooked and slightly charred, about 10-12 minutes.
Chicken Skewers in the Air Fryer
- Preheat the air fryer for 5 minutes as per the manufacturer's instructions.
- Place the chicken skewers in the air fryer basket, making sure they're not touching.
- Cook for 8-10 minutes at 200C/400F degrees, flipping the skewers halfway through cooking.
- Check that the chicken is cooked through and slightly charred before removing from the air fryer
