Sweet Chili Chicken Skewers
Delicious chicken skewers marinated in sweet chili sauce and air-fried to perfection.
Ingredients
- 0.45 kg boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 0.25 cup sweet chili sauce
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 tablespoon ginger
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- pinch salt
- pinch pepper
- units bamboo or metal skewers
- units fresh cilantro or green onions
- units lime wedges
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, minced garlic, minced ginger, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Add the cubed chicken thighs and toss to ensure each piece is well-coated. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, preferably 1-2 hours for deeper flavor.
- If using bamboo skewers, thread the marinated chicken onto the skewers, leaving a little space between each piece for even cooking. If using metal skewers, simply add the chicken similarly.
- Preheat your air fryer to 400.0 for about 5 minutes.
- Place the skewers in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for 10.0 to 12.0 minutes, flipping halfway through. The chicken should be golden, crispy, and reach an internal temperature of 165.0.
- Once done, remove the skewers from the air fryer. Garnish with fresh cilantro or sliced green onions and serve with lime wedges on the side.
Notes
If using bamboo skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes before use.
