Equipment

  • 1 air fryer
  • 8 (6") wooden skewers soaked in water for 30 minutes

Ingredients

marinade/glaze

  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 3 tablespoons minced garlic
  • 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
  • 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
  • 2 teaspoon sesame oil

chicken

  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs cut into 1 inch pieces
  • 1 thinly sliced green onion
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • In a mixing bowl combine all sauce ingredients and whisk together.
  • Transfer chicken to a resealable plastic bag or airtight container.
  • Pour half marinade over chicken, tightly seal, shake up to mix and refrigerate for at least 4 hours and up to 24 hours.
  • Pour remaining marinade into a small pot and simmer for 5 to 7 minutes or until slightly reduced (Glaze will thicken as it cools). Remove from heat and set aside.
  • Once chicken has marinated, pierce 7 to 8 pieces of chicken through each skewer. Repeat until all chicken has been used.
  • Lightly spray air fryer basket with cooking spray and top with skewers, leaving about1/2 inch space between each one (cook in batches to avoid overcrowding). Brush each skewer with glaze.
  • Air-fry chicken skewers at 400˚F for 8 minutes. Flip each skewer and brush with more glaze. Continue to air-fry for an additional 6to 8 minutes or until chicken has cooked through.
  • Remove skewers from air fryer basket and brush with glaze once more.
  • Transfer skewers to a serving dish, top with green onion and serve.
