Air Fryer Garlic Parmesan Chicken Skewers

🔥 Instructions:

1️⃣ Prepare the Skewers:

  • Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning during cooking.

2️⃣ Season the Chicken:

  • In a small bowl, mix paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
  • Cut the chicken into 3-inch pieces and toss them in olive oil along with the seasoning mixture until evenly coated.

3️⃣ Assemble the Skewers:

  • Thread the seasoned chicken pieces onto the skewers, packing them tightly.
  • If the skewers are too long for your air fryer, trim the ends as needed.

4️⃣ Prepare the Garlic Parmesan Sauce:

  • In a microwave-safe bowl, combine butter and minced garlic. Heat until the butter is partially melted.
  • Stir in red pepper flakes, hot sauce (if using), parsley, and grated parmesan. Whisk thoroughly.
  • Reserve 1/3 of the sauce for basting while cooking; the remaining will be used after cooking.

5️⃣ Cook the Skewers:

  • Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
  • Place 2-3 skewers in the air fryer basket, ensuring they do not overlap.
  • Cook for 5 minutes, then flip the skewers and baste them with the reserved sauce.
  • Cook for another 2 minutes, flip again, and baste once more.
  • Continue cooking for an additional 5-6 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). The total cooking time should be approximately 12-14 minutes.

6️⃣ Finish and Serve:

  • Brush the cooked skewers with the remaining garlic parmesan sauce.
  • Sprinkle extra grated parmesan on top for a final touch.
