Ingredients:

1 pound salted butter, softened

5 cloves garlic, grated

½ cup finely grated Parmesan cheese

1 lemon, zest and juice

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon red pepper flakes

¼ cup fresh parsley, finely chopped (optional, for serving)

3 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 2-inch strips

2 teaspoons salt

½ teaspoon black pepper

Wooden skewers, trimmed to fit your air fryer

Directions:

Prepare the Butter Sauce:

In a medium-sized bowl, melt the butter. Add the grated garlic, Parmesan cheese, lemon zest, lemon juice, 1 teaspoon salt, and red pepper flakes. Stir to combine. Set aside, noting that the butter sauce may firm up as you prepare the rest of the recipe.

Prepare the Chicken:

Trim the wooden skewers to fit your air fryer. Chicken shears work well for snipping the skewers to the right size.

Thread 6-7 pieces of the chicken thigh strips onto each skewer. Pack the chicken tightly to ensure it cooks evenly.

Season the threaded skewers with 2 teaspoons of salt and black pepper.

Cooking Process:

Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C).

Using a basting brush, generously apply the Parmesan butter sauce to all sides of the chicken skewers.

Place the skewers in the air fryer and cook for 5 minutes. After the first 5 minutes, baste the skewers again with the butter sauce and cook for another 5 minutes.

Baste once more, then cook for a final 5-minute period, totaling 15 minutes of cooking time. The chicken should be golden brown and cooked through.

Serve:

Once all skewers are cooked, collect any garlic Parmesan butter that has accumulated in the bottom of the air fryer. Pour this over the cooked chicken skewers for added flavor.

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and additional Parmesan cheese if desired. Serve with lemon wedges on the side
