FAQs
Here are some common questions I see readers ask about these Air Fryer Greek Chicken Kabobs…and their answers.
Can I make the air fryer greek chicken kabobs ahead of time?
Yes, you can! I would suggest assembling the kabobs no more than 3 – 4 hours in advance of cooking. Place them in an air-tight container or storage bag in the refrigerator to keep until ready.
Can I freeze these greek chicken kabobs?
Normally, I would suggest assembling the kabobs and placing them in a freezer-safe container to freeze for another time.
However, with these kabobs being marinated in yogurt and oil, I would not recommend it.
How long will the greek chicken kabobs keep?
Leftover kabobs will keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 – 4 days in an air-tight container or storage bag.
Is it safe to use wooden skewers for the kabobs in an air fryer?
Yes, you certainly can! Keep in mind that wooden skewers should be soaked in water for at least an hour before cooking so they do not burn in the air fryer.
