Lemon honey chicken thigh skewers: perfect for the BBQ

Estimated reading time: 3 minutes

Chicken thigh, I love it because it is much juicier and tastier than the standard chicken breast. Especially for skewers that you prepare on the BBQ or in the Airfryer. So whether it's beautiful weather outside, or it's raining cats and dogs, you can make these lemon honey chicken thigh skewers all year round. The only thing is a day of patience because we are going to marinate the chicken thigh and leave it in the fridge overnight.

Today we make delicious lemon honey chicken thigh skewers with baharat spices. Baharat is an Arabic spice mix that gives your dishes a warm, sweet and aromatic taste. You can make baharat yourself or buy ready-made. In combination with the lemon juice, the baharat gives your meat a fresh sweet taste. We paint the chicken skewers bbq with some honey and sprinkle fresh parsley on it.

As mentioned, you can place these skewers on the BBQ, but they can also be made in the air fryer. If you do the latter, place a maximum of 5 or 6 on the bottom and set the temperature to 180 degrees. Bake them for about 12/13 minutes and turn them halfway through. During the last turn, grease the skewers with some honey on both sides. We do this so late in the process because the sugar in the honey is different meat burns!
