Air Fry Teriyaki Pineapple Chicken Skewers

Air Fry Teriyaki Pineapple Chicken Skewers - These Teriyaki Pineapple Chicken Skewers are a delightful fusion of sweet and savory flavors. Marinated to perfection, the chicken and pineapple chunks are threaded onto skewers and air-fried to golden-brown perfection. A generous brush of homemade teriyaki sauce adds that irresistible caramelized finish.

Ingredients:

For the Teriyaki Marinade:

• 1/2 cup soy sauce
• 1/4 cup pineapple juice
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon grated ginger
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional, for thickening)

For the Skewers:

• 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breast or thighs, cut into 1-inch cubes
• 1 cup pineapple chunks (fresh or canned)
• Wooden skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes (to prevent burning)

Instructions:

• Prepare the Teriyaki Marinade:
• In a small saucepan, combine the soy sauce, pineapple juice, honey, minced garlic, and grated ginger.
• If you want a thicker sauce, mix the cornstarch with a little water to create a slurry and add it to the sauce.
• Heat the mixture over low heat, stirring constantly until it thickens. Remove from heat and let it cool.
• Marinate the Chicken:
• Place the chicken cubes in a bowl and pour half of the teriyaki marinade over them.
• Reserve the other half of the marinade for later.
• Toss the chicken to ensure it's well coated in the marinade.
• Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours) to allow the flavors to infuse.
• Assemble the Skewers:
• Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
• Thread the marinated chicken pieces and pineapple chunks onto the soaked wooden skewers, alternating between chicken and pineapple.
• Air Fry the Skewers:
• Place the skewers in the EaZy MealZ Air Fry Crisper Basket, leaving some space between them for even cooking.
• Air fry for 10-12 minutes, turning the skewers halfway through the cooking time, or until the chicken is cooked through and has a nice char on the outside.
• Glaze with Reserved Teriyaki Sauce:
• In the last few minutes of cooking, brush the skewers with the reserved teriyaki sauce to glaze them.
• Continue cooking until the sauce caramelizes slightly and the chicken is fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C).
• Serve:
• Carefully remove the skewers from the EaZy MealZ Air Fry Crisper Basket.
• Serve the Teriyaki Pineapple Chicken Skewers hot, garnished with chopped fresh cilantro or green onions, if desired.
• You can also serve them with steamed rice or a side of vegetables for a complete meal.

Enjoy your homemade Teriyaki Pineapple Chicken Skewers with the delightful combination of sweet pineapple and savory teriyaki flavor!
