Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs. boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp lemon pepper seasoning
  • 1 tsp garlic powder

Parmesan Butter Ingredients

  • ¼ cup salted butter
  • ¼ cup grated parmesan cheese
  • ½ tsp garlic powder

Instructions

  • Dice your chicken into about 1-inch pieces. Add the chicken to a bowl along with the olive oil, smoked paprika, lemon pepper seasoning, and 1 teaspoon of garlic powder. Give the chicken a quick toss, ensuring it is evenly coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the chicken rest in the fridge for at least 15 minutes or up to 3 hours.
  • Preheat your air fryer for 5 minutes at 360°F. While the air fryer is preheating, add 4-5 pieces of chicken to each skewer. Set aside.
  • Melt your butter in a small bowl for about 45 seconds. Stir in the parmesan cheese and ½ teaspoon of garlic powder.
  • Brush your chicken skewers with the butter mixture and then place them in the air fryer in 2 batches, to avoid crowding. Cook for 6 minutes, brush the chicken with more butter, and then cook for another 6 minutes.
  • Brush your chicken one more time as it comes out of the air fryer. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

Garlic parm chicken skewers are best served fresh. However, any leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat 1-2 skewers in the microwave for about 40 seconds, or until hot.
