Ingredients
  • 1.5 lbs. boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp za’atar spice
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • ½ cup whole milk yogurt
  • 1 tsp sumac
  • ½ tsp ground cumin
  • 2 lemons, juice and zest, plus more wedges for serving
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 6 Yukon Gold potatoes, cut into wedges
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Wooden or metal skewers, as needed
  • Tzatziki, for serving
  • Cilantro, for serving
Instructions
  • In a bowl, toss the chicken cubes with olive oil, za’atar, half of the salt, black pepper, yogurt, sumac, cumin, juice and zest of 1 lemon, and the honey. Refrigerate and marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 6 hours.
  • Once marinated, thread the chicken tightly onto skewers. Air fry at 400°F / 200°C for 14-16 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, toss together the potatoes wedges with garlic powder, olive oil, remaining lemon juice and zest, and salt. Air fry at 400°F / 200°C for 16-18 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and cooked through. Toss with more salt as necessary.
  • Serve with tzatziki, lemon wedges, and a garnish of cilantro. Enjoy!
