Air Fryer Middle-Eastern Inspired Chicken (Shish Tawook)
In my opinion, chicken is one of those things that is hard to keep my interest because I consume it so much. It's on my weekly lunch rotation and there are only so many ways to keep it healthy and interesting. But somehow, Mediterranean/Middle Eastern recipes ALWAYS nail their chicken. When I was playing around with this recipe, I realized I finally figured out the secret to their incredible chicken: yogurt. I'm not qualified enough to tell you exactly why yogurt makes this chicken so moist and incredible but just trust me on this. This will be the best (healthy) chicken of your life. If you're looking for a new chicken recipe, run. Don't walk. Run to the grocery store and make this now! Note: You can easily make this on the BBQ as well!
