Equipment

  • air fryer
  • grill
  • Mixing bowl
  • Skewers

Ingredients
  

Chicken Marinade

  • 1.5-2 pounds chicken thighs or tenders, cut in 1-inch pieces
  • 1.5 teaspoon seasoning salt such as lowry’s
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon grated parmesan
  • 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder

Seasoning Sauce

  • 5 tablespoons softened butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced or pressed
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
  • 1 tablespoon Parmesan Cheese
  • 1-2 teaspoons chili crunch or chili crisp
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Add the chicken pieces to a bowl, season with seasoning salt, mayo, garlic powder, and grated parmesan. Mix to coat evenly. Allow the chicken skewers to marinate for as little as 20 minutes and ideally, 4-16 hours covered in the refrigerator.
  • In a bowl, combine the butter, pressed garlic, parsley, parmesan, chili crisp, and lemon juice. Press with a fork to create a compound butter. Zap in the microwave for 5 seconds just to loosen it a tad bit.
  • Thread chicken pieces onto metal or wooden skewers and set aside. Preheat an air fryer or an outdoor grill. Air fry the skewers at 400ºF.
  • Once the air fryer is heated, add 4-7 skewers at a time, taking care not to overcrowd so that they cook evenly. Cook the chicken skewers for 6 minutes, flip and cook for another 3 minutes.
  • Check the temp of the chicken; it should cross 150ºF at this point. Baste the chicken once it does, and cook for 1 minute. Then flip, baste the other side, and cook for another 30-40 seconds. Check the chicken for doneness with a meat thermometer; it should read 165ºF.
  • Remove skewers from the air fryer, top with more parmesan or parsley and serve warm with your favorite sides!

Notes

For best results, marinate the chicken for at least 4 hours but no more than 16 hours.
