Instructions
Prep and Skewer Chicken
- Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes.
- Combine chicken seasoning mixture in a bowl and set aside. Cut chicken into 3" pieces, place in a bowl or bag, toss in olive oil and spices.
- Pack chicken onto skewers tightly with no space in between.
Make the Garlic Parmesan Butter Sauce
- Heat butter and garlic in a microwave-safe bowl until partially melted. Add red pepper flakes, hot sauce, parsley, and parmesan. Whisk until combined.
- Scoop out ⅓ of the sauce for basting par-cooked chicken. Reserve remaining sauce for cooked chicken.
Cook The Chicken
- Cook 2-3 skewers in an air fryer at 400 degrees for 5 minutes. Flip, baste with sauce, and cook an additional 2 minutes.
- Flip back, baste with more sauce, and cook another 5-6 minutes until internal temp reaches 165 degrees.
- Baste with remaining garlic sauce and sprinkle with extra parmesan before serving.
Notes
For oven preparation, preheat to 450 degrees and bake skewers for 14 minutes, flipping halfway. For grill preparation, preheat to medium-high and grill skewers for 5-6 minutes each side, basting throughout cooking.
