Tips for Best Results

  • Use boneless chicken thighs for the juiciest kebabs.
  • Marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for deeper flavor.
  • Do not overcook, as the chicken can become dry.
  • Brush with melted butter immediately after grilling for extra richness.
  • Preheat the grill or air fryer before cooking for even browning.
  • Turn the kebabs halfway through cooking for uniform color and texture.
  • Add grated cheese to the marinade for an even creamier finish.
  • Let the cooked kebabs rest for 2–3 minutes before serving to retain their juices.
