# Step-by-Step Instructions:
01 -
Dig in while it's still hot—everything tastes better that way.
02 -
Set out your warmed naan. Slather some tzatziki, pile on fries, lay the buttery chicken down, and toss over the diced onion, tomato, and cucumber. Fold everything up and wrap in parchment if you want less mess.
03 -
Heat your naan in the air fryer or throw it on a skillet until it's soft and easy to bend.
04 -
While the chicken is fresh from the air fryer, slather that seasoned butter all over it.
05 -
Mix the soft butter with lemon juice, some salt, black pepper, and a dash of chili powder if you're into that. Stir until smooth.
06 -
Slide your marinated chicken chunks onto the soaked skewers and lay them in the air fryer basket or a tray. Set the temp at 200°C and let them cook for 18 to 20 minutes. Flip once halfway through, and make sure they're cooked and golden.
07 -
Set your air fryer to 200°C. If wooden skewers are your pick, soak them in water for 15–20 minutes so they won’t burn up.
08 -
Throw the chicken, minced garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and chili flakes in a bowl. Mix everything until coated well. Pop in the fridge for half an hour or more, covered.
# Extra Tips and Tricks:
01 -
Letting the chicken soak in the marinade for longer gives even juicier meat.
02 -
Soaking those wooden skewers first stops them from turning black.
