Servings: 4
Prep: 30 min
Cook: 30 min
Total: 1 hour
1 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut up (put in freezer 20 min before for easier cutting)
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp paprika
¾ tsp garlic powder
¾ tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
¼ tsp onion powder
¼ tsp Cayenne Pepper
75g / 5 tbsp Unsalted Butter, softened
20g / ¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan
3 cloves of Garlic, finely grated/minced
1 tbsp very finely diced Fresh Parsley
¼ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper
Slice the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces then combine in a bowl with the oil and seasoning. Thread onto skewers, leaving a gap at both ends. Make sure the pieces are nice and compact so they stay juicy. Place in the air fryer and cook at 400F for 13 minutes.
Meanwhile, combine the butter with parmesan, garlic, parsley, salt and pepper. You want the butter to be soft and creamy enough to brush, but not completely melted—microwave in 5 second blasts.
After 10 minutes, flip the skewers and brush with ⅓ of the butter. Air fry for 3 minutes, then flip them and brush with another ⅓ of the butter. Air fry again for another 3 minutes, or until lightly charred and 165° internal.
Remove the skewers and brush with the remainder of the butter. Sprinkle over more parmesan & parsley whilst they're still hot if desired.
