Have you ever wondered if you can cook chicken skewers (also known as kabobs or kebabs) in your air fryer? The answer is yes, and it’s quick and easy to do! In fact, you can cook just about anything skewered in the air fryer or air fryer oven, from beef to shrimp, lamb, vegetables, fruits, and more. If it can be cooked in a conventional oven, then you can definitely cook it in your air fryer too. These are a twist on an Atlanta classic! Made in the air fryer they come out extra crispy and really juicy. The lemon pepper butter takes these skewers to another level!
