Air Fryer Garlic Parmesan Chicken Skewers offer a quick and easy way to enjoy tender chicken bites coated in a crispy garlic and parmesan crust. Perfect for a healthier, flavorful meal or appetizer, these skewers are cooked to golden perfection in the air fryer in under 30 minutes, requiring minimal ingredients and effort while delivering maximum taste.

Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 1 lb chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces

Coating & Seasoning

  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Additional

  • Wooden or metal skewers (wooden skewers soaked in water for 30 minutes if using)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Cut the chicken breast into even bite-sized pieces to ensure uniform cooking. Pat the pieces dry with paper towels to help the coating adhere better.
  2. Mix the Coating: In a bowl, combine grated parmesan cheese, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Toss the chicken pieces with olive oil, then evenly coat them with the parmesan and seasoning mixture.
  3. Skewer the Chicken: Thread the coated chicken pieces onto your skewers, making sure not to overcrowd to allow hot air to circulate inside the air fryer for even cooking.
  4. Preheat and Cook: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Place the skewers in a single layer inside the basket and cook for 10 to 12 minutes, flipping halfway through to ensure even browning and a crispy finish.
  5. Serve Warm: Once the chicken is golden and cooked through, remove the skewers from the air fryer and let them rest for a couple of minutes to lock in juiciness before serving.

Notes

  • Cut chicken into uniform pieces to guarantee even cooking and avoid drying out.
  • Always preheat the air fryer to achieve a perfect crispy crust from the start.
  • Use parchment paper or foil under the skewers to prevent cheese from sticking to the air fryer basket.
  • Flip skewers halfway through cooking to get an even golden color on all sides.
  • Allow skewers to rest a few minutes before serving to retain juicy texture.
  • If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes prior to cooking to prevent burning.
