## Ingredients

- 2 cups fresh cilantro, stems & leaves
- 6 garlic cloves
- 1 tbsp lime zest
- 2 tbsp avocado oil
- 5 tbsp mayonnaise
- 3 limes, juiced
- 1.5 lbs chicken thighs, boneless & skinless
- 2 tsp chili powder
- 2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp cumin
- 0.5 tsp cayenne
- 1 tbsp honey
- 6 tbsp butter, melted
- 2 tbsp reserved marinade
- 1 tbsp hot honey

## Instructions

1. Cut chicken thighs into large bite-sized pieces. Place cilantro, garlic, lime zest, mayonnaise, chili powder, pepper, salt, cumin, cayenne, and honey into a blender or food processor; blend until a paste forms. Reserve two tablespoons for the butter. Mix remaining marinade with chicken and lime juice; toss to coat. Marinate for at least one minute, or overnight.
2. Preheat air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Skewer chicken and cook for 17-20 minutes, until fully cooked through. For crispier edges, increase temperature to 400°F (205°C) for the last 2-3 minutes.
3. While chicken cooks, mix melted butter with reserved marinade.
