Air Fryer Chicken Skewers

These air fryer chicken skewers include steak seasoned chicken bites cooked to perfection in the air fryer. Then, they're coated in my viral garlic parmesan wing sauce. Make them in less than 30 minutes as a main protein or chicken appetizer.

Equipment

6-inch metal skewers I used these
Air fryer

Ingredients

1.25 lb Chicken Thighs boneless and skinless, cut into bite-sized pieces
½ tsp steak seasoning - I used this one
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 tsp Onion Powder
1/4 cup grated parmesan I get this fresh in the refrigerated section of the market
2 tbsp Avocado oil

Garlic Parmesan Sauce

1/4 cup Butter melted, unsalted
1/4 cup grated parmesan
1 tsp Garlic Powder
1 tsp Dried Parsley

Instructions

Add the chicken pieces, seasonings, avocado oil, and grated parmesan to a large bowl. Use tongs to evenly coat the chicken.
Lace the chicken pieces onto the skewers. Avoid stuffing them since it makes the chicken harder to cook. I use about 5-6 chicken bites per skewer.
Preheat the air fryer at 400 degrees for 5 minutes.
Add the skewers to the air fryer basket in a single layer.
Air fry at 400 for 6 minutes. Flip.
Air fry at 400 for 6-8 more minutes to cook the chicken skewers through and char some of the edges.
Mix the ingredients for the garlic parmesan sauce. Use a basting brush to coat the hot chicken skewers with the sauce.

Notes

Grated parmesan, I get this fresh in the refrigerated section of the market.
Avoid stuffing the chicken onto the skewers since it makes the chicken harder to cook. I use about 5-6 chicken bites per skewer.
Preheat the air fryer to help sear the chicken.
Make the sauce as a last step and mix it with the chicken while it’s hot to help it coat your chicken skewers evenly.
