Ingredients

1.25 lb Chicken breast
0.25 cup Peanut butter
2 tbsp Soy sauce
1 tbsp Lime juice
1 tbsp Honey or maple syrup
1 tbsp Rice vinegar
1 tsp Sesame oil
2 cloves Garlic, minced
1 tsp Fresh ginger, grated
0.5 tsp Red pepper flakes
6 Wooden skewers
2 tbsp Crushed peanuts
2 tbsp Fresh cilantro, chopped

Instructions

In a medium bowl, whisk together peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, honey (or maple syrup), rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, and red pepper flakes (if using) until smooth. Add chicken cubes and toss to coat evenly. Marinate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 30 minutes in the refrigerator.

Thread chicken cubes onto the soaked wooden skewers. Reserve any extra marinade.

Preheat air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease the air fryer basket.

Place skewers in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring not to overcrowd. Cook for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through and brushing with reserved marinade, until chicken is cooked through and lightly charred. For food safety, ensure internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Garnish with crushed peanuts and fresh cilantro before serving.
