Notes
- Best Chicken Cut: Chicken thighs stay extra juicy in the air fryer, but you can use chicken breast if preferred.
- Grill It: No air fryer? Grill the skewers on medium-high heat for 12–14 minutes, flipping once.
- Adjust Heat: For spicier sauce, add more hot sauce or a pinch of cayenne pepper.
- Make It a Meal: Serve with rice, cucumber salad, or lettuce wraps for a full dinner.
