Ingredients
Instructions
Prepare the souvlaki marinade: In a bowl, mix salt, spices, herbs, oil, and lemon juice. Set it aside.
Prepare the chicken: Wash and pat dry the chicken thighs with a paper towel. Cut them into 1 1/2-inch bite-sized pieces. Toss the chicken in the marinade until well coated, then refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to marinate.
Thread the chicken: Once marinated, thread the chicken pieces onto the skewers until all the meat is on.
Air fry: Place the chicken skewers in a parchment-lined air fryer basket (mine holds 5 at a time). Air fry at 400°F for 17 minutes, flipping halfway through. The internal temperature should reach at least 155°F. Let the chicken rest for 2 minutes before cooking the next batch (check the temp again, it should have reached 165°F or more).
Serve: Serve with your favorite sides, like this marinated cucumber tomato salad, or its creamy version. Enjoy!
