Air Fry
  1. When you're ready to cook, grease your air fryer basket with some oil or cooking spray. Preheat your air fryer. Then, working in batches, place the chicken in a single layer or on skewers. Make sure to grease the tray/basket well.
  2. Air fry the chicken for 18 minutes at 360°F. After 8 minutes, flip the chicken gently with tongs. Check after the 18-minute mark, and adjust the time as per your liking. I usually up the temperature to 380°F for an additional 2 minutes after the 18-minute mark to give it a nice char. Make sure to use a meat thermometer to ensure that the chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165ºF before serving.
Grill
