08 -
1.36 kg boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 5 cm strips
09 -
2 teaspoons salt
10 -
0.5 teaspoon black pepper
# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Melt the softened salted butter in a medium bowl. Add grated garlic, parmesan, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and red pepper flakes. Stir thoroughly until fully combined.
02 -
Trim wooden skewers to fit your air fryer basket using poultry shears if necessary.
03 -
Thread 6–7 pieces of chicken thigh strips tightly onto each prepared skewer. Continue until all chicken is skewered. Season both sides evenly with salt and black pepper.
04 -
Using a basting brush, coat each chicken skewer thoroughly on all sides with the garlic parmesan butter.
05 -
Arrange skewers in a single layer in the air fryer. Cook at 175°C for 5 minutes. Baste again, then cook for another 5 minutes. Baste once more, and cook for a final 5 minutes, totaling 15 minutes, until chicken is golden brown. Cook remaining batches in the same manner as needed.
06 -
Pour any remaining garlic parmesan butter over cooked skewers. Garnish with fresh parsley and additional parmesan if desired. Accompany with lemon wedges.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
Butter sauce may solidify slightly during preparation; this is normal and does not affect quality.
02 -
Ensure wooden skewers are cut to fit your air fryer model to prevent burning.
