GARLIC PARMESAN CHICKEN SKEWERS | Serves 4
INGREDIENTS
➡️CHICKEN:
640g / 1.4lb boneless skinless Chicken Thighs
1 tbsp Olive Oil
1 tsp Paprika
3/4 tsp EACH: Garlic Powder, Salt
1/2 tsp Black Pepper
1/4 tsp EACH: Onion Powder, Cayenne Pepper (reduce if you really don’t like spice - it’s very subtle though)
➡️BUTTER:
75g / 5 tbsp Unsalted Butter, softened
20g / 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan
3 cloves of Garlic, finely grated/minced
1 tbsp very finely diced Fresh Parsley
1/4 tsp EACH Salt, Black Pepper, or to taste
METHOD
1️⃣Slice the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces then combine in a bowl with the oil and seasoning. Thread onto 4x 20cm/8” skewers, ensuring you leave a gap at both ends. Make sure the pieces are nice and compact so they stay nice and juicy. Place in the air fryer and cook at 200C/400F for 10 minutes.
2️⃣Meanwhile, combine the butter with parmesan, garlic, parsley, salt and pepper. You want the butter to be soft enough to brush, but not completely melted. A little creamy if you will. Pop in the microwave for 5 second blasts until you reach this consistency.
3️⃣After 10 minutes, flip the skewers (I find this easiest with a pair of tongs) and brush with 1/3 of the butter. Air fry for 2 minutes and 30 seconds, then flip them and brush with another 1/3 of the butter. Air fry again for another 2 minutes and 30 seconds, or until lightly charred on the outside and piping hot right through the centre (timings may depend on size of chicken pieces - safe internal temp for chicken is 165F/74C).
4️⃣Remove the skewers and brush with the remainder of the butter. Sprinkle over more parmesan & parsley whilst they’re still hot if desired.
*The chicken isn’t far off being cooked after 10 minutes and the outside is piping hot, so I just use the same brush/butter throughout. If you’re at all wary just save 1/3 of the butter for the end baste and use a different brush (or clean the first one).

Can they be cooked in the oven or on a grill?

WOW Chris, that was DELICIOUS, what a winner! Definitely going into my repetoir❤️
Is the recipe here?.
These were delicious!!!!
😍 this looks really ridiculous!
Use butter on corn on cob
I finally made this and it was delicious! Liked by the whole family.
So far this is our favorite recipe. I can get 5 skewers in our air fryer, in saying that one time I had so many that it took 2 hours to cook them all. Next time they are going on the grill! ❤️
Can u do chicken breasts? And would time be same?
