Ingredients
Scale
Chicken
- 1 ½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts or chicken thighs
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons chicken seasoning
Sauce
- ½ cup garlic parmesan sauce
Optional Garnish
- Fresh chopped parsley
- Grated parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Prepare Chicken: Cut the chicken into 1 inch pieces. Toss them with the olive oil, then coat evenly with chicken seasoning to infuse flavor.
- Skewer Chicken: Thread the chicken pieces tightly onto 6-inch bamboo skewers that fit into your air fryer basket, placing about 4 pieces per skewer.
- Air Fry Chicken: Place the skewers in a single layer inside 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 Glaze: Carefully open the air fryer, flip each skewer, and brush the chicken with garlic parmesan sauce. Return to the air fryer and cook for an additional 2 minutes at 400°F.
- Final Touch: Remove the skewers from the air fryer, generously brush with remaining garlic parmesan sauce, and serve immediately. Optionally garnish with fresh chopped parsley and grated parmesan cheese for added flavor and presentation.
Notes
- Use chicken thighs for juicier, more flavorful skewers, or chicken breasts for a leaner option.
- Be careful not to overcrowd the air fryer basket to ensure even cooking.
- If you don’t have garlic parmesan sauce, you can make a simple mixture of minced garlic, grated parmesan, mayonnaise, and a touch of lemon juice.
- Soaking bamboo skewers in water for 30 minutes prior to use helps prevent burning in the air fryer.
- This recipe works great as an appetizer or served with a side salad or rice for a main dish.
