Ingredients

600 g chicken breast (Diced)
2 tbsp yoghurt
1 tbsp chilli sauce or paste (Use your preferred chilli sauce or paste)
1 tbsp garlic ginger paste
1 tsp hot chilli flakes (The author used Aleppo flakes)
1 tsp sweet paprika (Alternatively, use sweet Aleppo flakes)
1 tsp garlic powder (The source lists this together with black pepper)
black pepper (Listed with the garlic powder; amount not specified)
1 lime (Juice of one whole lime; the transcript also suggests charring the lime)
salt (To taste)
butter (Optional: use a bit to reduce the cooking juices and brush over the finished chicken)
lemon (The transcript mentions charring lemon and lime, but gives no quantity; optional and not included in the written ingredient list)

Steps

1
Place the diced chicken breast in a bowl. Add the yoghurt, chilli sauce or paste, garlic ginger paste, hot chilli flakes, sweet paprika or sweet Aleppo flakes, garlic powder, black pepper, the juice of one whole lime, and salt to taste. Mix thoroughly so every piece is coated.
2
Marinate the chicken for about 2 hours. Do not marinate it for more than 24 hours, because the citrus can draw moisture from the chicken and make it tough and dry.
3
Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto skewers.
4
Air-fry the chicken skewers at 200°C for 10 minutes, until cooked through in the middle and charred on the outside.
5
Optionally, char the lime, and lemon if using, as the transcript suggests. Charring changes the citrus flavor from zesty and fresh to tangy and slightly sweet.
6
For the optional finishing sauce, collect the juices released by the chicken, reduce them with a bit of butter, and brush the reduction over the cooked skewers before serving.

Notes

The written caption does not specify skewer type, air-fryer model, or whether the skewers should be soaked. Check that the chicken is fully cooked before serving. The transcript specifically recommends approximately 2 hours of marinating and a maximum of 24 hours.
