What are Kebobs
Kebab or Kebob are small chunks of marinated meat or seafood grilled on skewers with vegetables or fruits that are cooked on an open fire or grilled. Although Kebabs originated in Middle Eastern countries, many variations such as shami kebab (made with ground meat and chickpeas), shish kebab, and malai kebab have become popular in the rest of the world.

I especially love making them in teh air fryer as the preheating time is much less and the chicken comes out juicy and tender. If you love easy chicken recipes do try this chicken shawarma recipe. So what makes these chicken tikka kebabs so delicious without having to add the extra cream? The key is marinating the chicken cubes for at least 4 hours or overnight. Marinating chicken makes it flavorful and cooks chicken breast cubes tender without drying them out. If you want to use chicken thighs, you can marinate them for 2 hours. For the bone-in chicken, I would recommend marinating at least for 4 hours.
Vegetables for Chicken Tikka Kebab
Traditionally onions and peppers are threaded into metal skewers along with the marinated chicken. You can use a mix of peppers, red onions, mushrooms, zucchini, etc. along with the chicken. I also love the 6-inch bamboo knot skewers that fit perfectly in the CrispLid basket to thread the chicken and the veggies. These bamboo skewers also make it easy to serve the chicken tikka for large parties or entertaining.
How to Make Chicken Tikka Kebab
In a medium bowl, add all the ingredients for the marinade and mix well. Add chicken and coat well. Allow marinating for at least 4 hours or overnight in the refrigerator.
Thread the marinated chicken, peppers, and onions in the skewers. Brush the air fryer basket with oil. Lightly brush the skewers on all sides with oil and place them in the basket. You can also place any extra veggies on the sides. I like some extra red onions with this dish.
Brush the air fryer basket with oil and place the chicken skewers in the basket. Set the temperature to 380 degrees F and cook for 15 minutes.
