Ingredients
6 boneless skinless chicken thighs cut into 2” pieces
2 tbsp of grapeseed oil
Spice Rub
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp dry mustard
Zest and juice of 1 lime
Hot Honey Sauce
1/4 cup of unsalted butter
1/4 cup honey
5 cloves of thinly sliced garlic
1 tbsp of soy sauce
1 tsp of red chili flakes (put as much as you want)
1 red thai chili
1 tsp of salt
1 tsp pepper
Instructions
- Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized 2” pieces.
- Place the chicken, spices, and oil listed above in a large bowl. Combine well.
- Thread the chicken onto skewers, folding the pieces in half if they are long and thin. Make sure they are very close together. This will ensure they stay juicy.
- Set aside to marinate for 15 minutes while making the hot honey sauce.
- Preheat your air fryer to 350 degrees air fry mode.
- Hot honey sauce: In a saucepan, brown the butter.
- Once the butter is browned, add the sliced garlic, soy sauce, red chili flakes, Thai red chili, and salt and pepper.
- Add the honey, and let it simmer for 2 minutes. Take it off the heat and set it aside in a heat-proof container.
- Air fry the chicken: Arrange your chicken in a preheated air fryer. Do not overcrowd. Air fry at 350 degrees for 15 minutes. At 7 minutes of cooking, baste the chicken with the hot honey sauce. Baste it again at the end of 15 minutes.
- Serve this chicken hot and with extra sauce on the side. Enjoy!
