Air fry

  • Place chicken skewers in a parchment paper lined air fryer basket. Mine takes 4 at a time.
  • Bake at 400°F / 204°C for 15 mins flipping half way through cooking time. Internal temperature should be at least 165°F / 74°C
  • Let it rest for 2 minutes then bake the next batch.

Notes

  1. This recipe makes 8-10 souvlaki chicken skewers.
  2. If you can’t have Mediterranean oregano you can substitute with Italian oregano.
  3. If you are in a hurry you let chicken rest for 10 mins on the counter after mixing with marinade.
