Instructions

To a large bowl, add the chicken pieces and dill pickle juice. Cover and refrigerate overnight (or at least 8 hours).
When ready to cook, whisk together the salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika in a separate bowl. Add the marinated chicken and toss to coat the chicken evenly with the seasoning mix.
Thread the seasoned chicken onto the soaked wooden skewers.
Add ½ cup of dill pickle ranch dressing to a small bowl. Brush the chicken generously with the dressing. Cover and refrigerate the remaining ½ cup for brushing after cooking.
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F. Lightly spray the basket with nonstick spray.
Add the skewers to the basket in a single layer. (Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to work in batches.)
Air fry for 11-12 minutes, flipping halfway. Chicken is fully cooked when it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
Generously brush the cooked chicken with the reserved dill pickle ranch. Use any extra dressing for dipping.
Garnish with fresh dill. Serve with dill pickle ranch dressing for dipping.
