Delight in Air Fryer Garlic Parmesan Chicken Skewers: Juicy chicken cubes seasoned and crisped in the air fryer, then coated in a rich garlic parmesan sauce.
Ingredients
For the Chicken:
- 2 lb chicken thighs or breasts cubed
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
For the Garlic Parmesan Sauce:
- 8 tablespoons butter
- 10 cloves garlic minced
- ½ cup grated parmesan cheese
- 4 teaspoon dry ranch seasoning
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Preparation:
- Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes. If skewers don’t fit in the air fryer, cut them down to fit.
Chicken Skewers:
- In a small bowl, combine salt, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Add chicken, oil, and seasoning to a ziplock bag or large bowl and toss to coat.
- Thread seasoned chicken onto skewers, tightly packing with no space in between.
Garlic Parmesan Sauce:
- In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat, then add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant. Stir in parmesan, ranch seasoning, red pepper flakes, and parsley, whisking until well combined. Reserve about 1/3 of the sauce for the final coating of the chicken skewers.
Air Frying:
- Add chicken skewers to the air fryer, leaving even space around to allow for airflow. Air fry at 400°F for 4 minutes. Flip the skewers, baste with sauce, and air fry for an additional 2 minutes. Flip again, baste with more sauce, and cook for another 5-7 minutes or until chicken is cooked through.
Final Touches:
- Remove the skewers from the air fryer and brush with reserved garlic parm sauce. Top with more chopped parsley and additional parmesan if desired.
