Instructions

- Cook Skewers: Air fry skewers for 10–12 minutes, flipping halfway, until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Serve: Let skewers rest for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with optional lemon wedges and parsley.

- For extra spice, add cayenne or crushed red pepper to the marinade.
