15‑Minute Garlic Parmesan Chicken Skewers

In a large bowl, combine the chicken thighs with paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, seasoning salt, the juice of half a lemon, mayonnaise, and olive oil; stir until every piece is evenly coated.

Cover the bowl and let the chicken marinate at room temperature for 5 minutes while you prepare the herb butter.

In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter.

Add the minced garlic to the melted butter and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant but not browned.

Stir in the grated parmesan cheese, hot sauce, chili flakes, and chopped fresh parsley; mix well and remove the pan from heat.

Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto metal or soaked wooden skewers, leaving a little space between pieces for even cooking.

Brush each skewer generously with the garlic‑parmesan herb butter, ensuring both sides are coated.

Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (400°F).

Arrange the skewers in a single layer in the air‑fryer basket, making sure they do not touch.

Cook for 8–10 minutes, turning the skewers halfway through, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 167°F (165°F) and the exterior is lightly crisp.

Remove the skewers from the air fryer, let them rest for 2 minutes, then serve immediately with your favorite side.
