In a medium-sized mixing bowl whisk together the marinade ingredients then stir in the chicken until evenly coated. Cover and leave to marinate for 30 minutes (I keep it at room temp if the chicken is just out of the fridge).

Thread the chicken onto 4 skewers, ensuring you leave a gap at both ends. Make sure the pieces are nice and compact so they stay nice and juicy. Place in the air fryer and brush over any leftover marinade left in the bowl (thoroughly wash the brush after). Cook for 13 minutes at 200C/400F. Meanwhile, combine all of the butter ingredients in a small mixing bowl.

After 13 minutes, flip the skewers (I find this easiest with tongs) and brush over around 1/4 of the butter (just eyeball it). Cook for another minute, then flip them again and brush over another 1/4 of the butter. Cook again for a final minute, or until lightly charred and cooked right through the centre (internal temp should reach at least 165F/74C).

Remove the skewers and if your air fryer was clean before starting, brush over any melted butter in the base, then liberally brush over the remaining lemon butter (don’t waste any flavour!). If you want them more lemony then just squeeze over a little more lemon juice.
