Ingredients
Scale
Chicken Skewers
- 1 ½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts or chicken thighs
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons chicken seasoning
- 16 six-inch bamboo skewers
Garlic Parmesan Sauce
- ½ cup garlic parmesan sauce (prepared or homemade)
Optional Garnish
- Fresh chopped parsley
- Grated parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Cut the chicken into 1-inch pieces. Toss the chicken pieces with olive oil and the chicken seasoning until evenly coated.
- Skewer the Chicken: Thread four pieces of the seasoned chicken tightly onto each 6-inch bamboo skewer, preparing 16 skewers total to fit your air fryer basket.
- Air Fry First Side: Place the skewers in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook at 400°F (204°C) for 10 minutes. Depending on your air fryer size, you may need to cook in batches.
- Flip and Brush with Sauce: Open the air fryer, carefully flip each skewer, and brush the chicken generously with the garlic parmesan sauce. Air fry again at 400°F (204°C) for 2 more minutes to set the sauce.
- Serve and Garnish: Remove the skewers from the air fryer, brush with any remaining sauce, and serve immediately. Optionally, garnish with fresh chopped parsley and grated parmesan cheese for added flavor and presentation.
Notes
- Soak bamboo skewers in water for 30 minutes before using to prevent burning in the air fryer.
- Chicken thighs can be used instead of breasts for juicier skewers.
- Adjust the chicken seasoning to your taste or substitute with your favorite spice blend.
- The garlic parmesan sauce can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to a week.
- Ensure chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for food safety.
