Prep and Skewer Chicken

  • Cut chicken into 3" pieces, toss in a large bowl or ziptop bag with olive oil and spices.
  • Pack chicken onto each skewer tightly for juiciness.
  • Snip skewers if necessary to fit in air fryer.

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 the rest.

Cook The Chicken
