Step by Step Instructions

  1. Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes. If skewers don’t fit in the air fryer, cut them down to fit.

  2. In a small bowl, combine salt, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder and black pepper.

    For this step

    • 1 teaspoon salt
    • 2 teaspoon paprika
    • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
    • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
    • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  3. Add chicken, oil and seasoning to a ziploc bag or large bowl and toss to coat.

    For this step

    • 2 lb chicken thighs or breasts, cubed
    • 1 tablespoon avocado oil or neutral oil
  4. Add seasoned chicken to the skewers, tightly packing with no space in between.

  5. Add butter and garlic to a microwave-safe bowl and heat until almost melted. Stir in parmesan cheese, ranch seasoning, red pepper flakes, and parsley. Reserve a small amount of sauce for the final coating (about 1/3 of the sauce).

    For this step

    • 8 tablespoons butter
    • 8-10 cloves garlic, minced
    • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
    • 1 tablespoon dry ranch seasoning
    • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
    • 1/3 cup chopped fresh parsley
  6. Add chicken skewers to the air fryer leaving even space around to allow for air flow. Air fry at 400°F for 4 minutes. Flip the skewers, brush on some sauce. Air fry for 2 more minutes. Flip again, baste with more sauce and cook for another 5-7 minutes or until chicken is cooked through.

  7. Remove and brush with reserved garlic parmesan sauce. Serve with ranch, more garlic parmesan sauce or enjoy plain.
