Notes
- You can substitute boneless, skinless chicken breast for chicken thighs.
- You can substitute Tamari 1:1 for soy sauce. To substitute Coconut Aminos, add 1/3 additional (so 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon for this recipe).
- If you are using wood skewers, always remember to soak them in warm water for at least 30 minutes before cooking so that the wood doesn’t burn.
- Don’t have an Air Fryer? You can grill the chicken kebabs over medium-high heat. Rotate every 3 to 4 minutes. Total grilling time should be approximately 12 to 15 minutes. Always test for doneness and to make sure the chicken pieces are cooked through to 165F.
- If you are making a smaller batch of the miso marinated chicken kebabs, reduce the cooking time in the air fryer. A single kebab cooked perfectly in 8 minutes (400F). The more kebabs you add, the less air and room around each kebab and the longer the total cooking time is, hence the 18 minutes cook time for the entire batch.
- Not a fan of spicy food? Omit the Sriracha from the peanut sauce. Or add a small amount and taste before adding more to reach your perfect spice level.
- The spicy peanut sauce is best served at room temperature. You can make it in advance (up to 2 days), just make sure to set it out on the counter for at least 30 minutes before serving.
