Ingredients for Air Fryer Garlic Parmesan Chicken Skewers

• Olive Oil: For a prominent taste, use extra virgin olive oil or anyone with good quality.

• Paprika: Gives your chicken that appealing color and adds flavor. To give it a touch of smokiness, use smoked paprika.

• Garlic Powder: Works better than fresh garlic due to the texture, to give it that garlicky taste.

• Onion Powder: Adds more seasoning and flavor to your meal.

• Salt and Pepper: Crucial part to making the flavors more pronounced.

• Tabasco Green Pepper Sauce: For a bit of spiciness and zest to your chicken. Use to your liking.

• Boneless Skinless Chicken Thighs: These tend to be juicier and softer. Chicken breasts are also good, although they might need more time to cook.

• Unsalted Butter: For that extra taste to your parmesan-garlic sauce.

• Garlic: It gives you more of that strong garlic flavor when it’s freshly minced. Use depending on your liking.

• Red Chili Flakes: For a dash of spice.

• Parmesan Cheese: For the savory and nutty flavor of shredded parmesan.

• Lemon Juice: Adds a tangy and light taste that meshes well with the cheese and butter.

• Fresh Parsley: To give it that pop of freshness. Other herbs like thyme and chives are good too.

How to make Chicken Kebabs ( Skewers)

    1. Prep your wooden skewers, to avoid them burning in your air fryer, by soaking them in a casserole dish full of water.

    2. Mix your Tabasco Green Pepper sauce, paprika, pepper, salt, garlic powder, olive oil, and onion powder in a plastic bag or bowl. Place in your chicken pieces and make sure they’re well coated.

    3. Put your chicken cubes into the skewers, gently tightening everything to ensure they stay juicy. In case your skewers don’t fit into the air fryer basket, feel free to cut the top off when you’re done.

    4. Prepare your parmesan garlic butter sauce: Put your butter on low heat to melt in a pan. Sprinkle in your red pepper flakes and chopped garlic, mix until for 1 minute. Turn the heat off and allow it to chill for 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in your parsley, parmesan cheese, and lemon juice until well mixed.

    5. Separate a third of the sauce and put it to the side. Be weary of cross-contamination by allowing the chicken to fully cook before basting it with the sauce you left aside.

    6. Cook your chicken skewers: In the air fryer basket, lay out your chicken skewers and cook for 6 to 7 minutes at 400 F.  Flip the skewers, brush them with your sauce, and cook for an extra 6 to 7 minutes. Their internal temperature should be at 165 F which will take you around 12 to 14 minutes of cooking time total.

    7. Before serving, apply your leftover clean garlic sauce on top and garnish with some parmesan, enjoy.

Can I cook these skewers in the oven?

Yes, your skewers can be cooked in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes at 400 F, turning them over mid-cooking.

Can I use metal skewers?

Definitely. They just have to be the kind of metal skewers that you can use in the air fryer or oven.

What’s the best way to reheat leftovers?

Place your skewers in the air fryer on low for a couple of minutes to reheat, making sure they stay soft and don’t overcook.
