# Ingredients:
→ Chicken
01 -
2 tbsp olive oil
02 -
2 lbs of chicken breast, thighs, or tenders
→ Garlic Parmesan Butter Sauce
03 -
1/3 cup chopped fresh parsley
04 -
1/2 cup shredded parmesan cheese
05 -
1 stick of butter
06 -
8-10 minced garlic cloves
07 -
1 tbsp or more hot sauce based on preference
08 -
2 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes
→ Chicken Seasonings
09 -
1 teaspoon onion powder
10 -
2 teaspoons smoked paprika
11 -
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
12 -
1 teaspoon garlic powder
13 -
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
# Instructions:
01 -
Let wooden skewers soak in water for at least half an hour to keep them from burning.
02 -
Cut chicken into chunks around 3 inches big, toss them in a bowl or bag with some olive oil and spice mix until covered evenly.
03 -
Carefully push chicken chunks firmly onto skewers without gaps. Trim the skewers if they’re too long to fit in your cooking device.
04 -
Warm butter and minced garlic in the microwave just until a little melted. Stir well, then add parmesan, parsley, red pepper flakes, and hot sauce. Whisk until it’s all blended. Save a third of this for basting partially cooked chicken.
05 -
Cook 2–3 skewers at a time in your air fryer set at 400°F. Start with 5 minutes, flip them, brush on some reserved sauce, and cook 2 minutes more. Flip again, baste, and cook for about 5–6 more minutes or until the internal heat hits 165°F.
06 -
Brush the leftover clean garlic butter sauce onto hot skewers, sprinkle with extra parmesan, and enjoy while warm!
# Notes:
01 -
Soaking wooden skewers keeps them from catching fire.
02 -
Add more hot sauce or less, depending on how spicy you want it.
