These healthy air fryer chicken skewers are so easy to make and are perfect as an appetizer, snack, sandwich filler, or on top of a salad.
The Greek flavors in air fryer chicken skewers are out of this world… tart lemon, oregano and thyme, garlic, and tangy yogurt are the perfect Greek combination. The yogurt not only adds a fantastic flavor, but after a couple hours of marinating, it keeps your Greek chicken skewers moist and tender.

The dipping sauce
And then there’s the dipping sauce. These air fryer chicken skewers are amazing on their own, but when you add the creamy feta dip to the mix, they are just to die for. Make extra to use it as a salad dressing or to dip veggies and pita chips in, too.
Air fryers
Now about that air fryer… Did you get one for Christmas that you’re afraid to use? Thinking about getting one but not sure how much you’ll use it? I am here to tell you that these brilliant little appliances have so many wonderful uses in the kitchen. This is the one I have and it’s inexpensive, compact and perfect for beginners.
On the other hand, my mom has this one and it is bigger, but holds so much food all at once. It’s one of the most popular ones on the market.
In this case, we’re using it like a grill and it leaves the most perfect charred edges on the chicken and lemons. After you make Greek chicken skewers, try it out making wings! I swear they’ll crisp up perfectly you’ll toss out the deep fryer and never look back.

Making the chicken skewers and sauce
Be sure to give your air fryer Greek chicken skewers plenty of time to marinate so the yogurt can do its thing. A couple hours will work just fine, but I always try to put mine in the marinade the night before.

The creamy feta sauce is seriously so easy… just put all the ingredients in a little food processor like this one and blend until creamy. That’s it! Don’t forget to make extra for other snacks since it’s such a versatile dip.
What else should I have with my air fryer Greek chicken skewers?
Make a Greek salad to go on the side (or underneath), or grab some pita and make your skewers into wrap filling. These would also go great with our Mediterranean shrimp flatbread!
