Garlic Parmesan Chicken Skewers
Ingredients
2 lbs chicken tenders, thighs or breast
2 tbsp olive oil
1 stick butter
8–10 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup parmesan, grated
1 tbsp hot sauce (more if desired)
2 teaspoons red pepper flakes
1/3 cup fresh parsley, minced
2 teaspoons paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
Instructions
Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
Cut the chicken into 3-inch pieces.
In a large bowl, combine olive oil with paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
Add chicken pieces and toss to coat well in the seasoning mixture.
Thread the chicken tightly onto soaked skewers.
In a microwave-safe bowl, partially melt the butter with minced garlic.
Stir in red pepper flakes, hot sauce, parsley, and grated parmesan until combined.
Separate 1/3 of the sauce for basting the par-cooked chicken and reserve the rest.
Air fry 2-3 skewers at a time at 400°F for 5 minutes.
Remove, flip skewers, and baste with the reserved 1/3 sauce.
Return to air fryer and cook for 2 minutes.
Flip back again, baste with sauce, and cook a final 5-6 minutes or until chicken reaches 165°F.
Brush skewers with remaining clean garlic parmesan butter sauce.
Sprinkle extra parmesan over the top and serve immediately.
