# Detailed Cooking Steps:
01 -

02 -
Microwave butter and chopped garlic until it’s melted. Stir in crushed red pepper flakes, hot sauce, chopped parsley, and Parmesan until smooth
03 -
Mix paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Toss chicken with olive oil and the spices until everything’s covered evenly, either in a big bowl or zip-top bag
04 -
Slide the chicken pieces tightly onto the soaked skewers. Cut skewers to fit your air fryer basket if needed
05 -
Heat air fryer to 204°C. Cook 2 to 3 skewers for 5 minutes
06 -
Take skewers out, turn them over, brush with about a third of the sauce, and pop back in the air fryer for 2 more minutes at 204°C
07 -
Turn them again, coat with more sauce, and cook for 5 to 6 minutes or until chicken hits 74°C inside. Total cook time is around 12 to 14 minutes, depending on your air fryer
08 -
Brush on the last bit of sauce, sprinkle extra Parmesan, and enjoy right away
# Helpful Hints:
01 -
Check chicken temp with a meat thermometer to make sure it’s at least 74°C inside. Soaking skewers keeps them from burning. Feel free to change hot sauce and red pepper to your liking. Freshly grated Parmesan gives the best taste.
