Equipment

  • Air Fryer

Ingredients

Marinade:

  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp Paprika
  • 2 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 2 tbsp mayo
  • 2 lbs Chicken Breast

Garlic Butter:

  • 80 g / 5 tbsp Unsalted Butter softened or melted
  • 20 g / 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan
  • 3 large cloves of Garlic finely grated/minced
  • 1 tbsp very finely diced Fresh Parsley
  • 1/4 tsp Salt or to taste

Instructions

  • Make the Marinade: Mix the olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, Italian seasoning, and mayo together.
  • Marinate the Chicken: Cut the chicken breast into skewer-sized pieces and mix them with the marinade. If you can, let the chicken marinate for a couple of minutes; that's preferable. But if you don't have time, it's still going to be flavorful. Thread the chicken onto your skewers. Make sure to leave a gap on both ends. Pieces should stay snug to help maintain the chicken's juiciness.
  • Air Fry the Chicken: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Place the marinated chicken skewers into the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for about 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  • Prepare the Garlic Butter: While the chicken is cooking, melt the butter and mix it with the parmesan, garlic, parsley, salt, and pepper.
  • Baste with Garlic Butter: In the last 2-3 minutes of cooking, brush the chicken skewers with the garlic butter mixture. Continue to cook until the chicken is fully cooked and the garlic butter is nicely absorbed. You can sprinkle some extra parmesan and parsley on top if desired.
