Ingredients
Scale
Chicken Skewers
- 1 ½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts or chicken thighs
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons chicken seasoning
- 16 pieces of 6-inch bamboo skewers
Garlic Parmesan Sauce
- ½ cup garlic parmesan sauce
Optional Garnish
- Fresh chopped parsley
- Grated parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Cut the chicken into 1-inch pieces. Toss the chicken pieces with 1 tablespoon olive oil and 2 tablespoons chicken seasoning until evenly coated.
- Skewer the Chicken: Thread the seasoned chicken pieces tightly onto the 6-inch bamboo skewers, fitting approximately 4 pieces per skewer.
- Air Fry the Chicken: Place the skewers in a single layer inside an air fryer basket. Air fry at 400°F for 10 minutes. Depending on your air fryer size, you may need to cook in two batches.
- Flip and Sauce: Open the air fryer and carefully flip the chicken skewers. Brush the tops generously with garlic parmesan sauce. Air fry again at 400°F for 2 more minutes.
- Serve: Remove the chicken skewers from the air fryer. Brush with the remaining garlic parmesan sauce and serve immediately. Optionally, garnish with freshly chopped parsley and grated parmesan cheese for extra flavor and presentation.
Notes
- Use bamboo skewers soaked in water for 30 minutes prior to grilling to prevent burning if preferred for other cooking methods.
- Chicken thighs can be used as a juicier alternative to chicken breasts.
- Adjust the amount of garlic parmesan sauce based on your taste preference.
- Ensure the chicken is cooked through to an internal temperature of 165°F for safety.
- To cook more skewers, simply cook in batches to avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket.
- For a spicier version, add red pepper flakes to the chicken seasoning or sauce.
