Ingredients

Scale

1 ½–2 pounds chicken thighs or tenders, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 ½ teaspoon seasoning salt
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 tablespoon grated parmesan
½ teaspoon garlic powder
5 tablespoons softened butter
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh parsley
1 tablespoon parmesan cheese
1–2 teaspoons chili crunch (or chili crisp)
1 teaspoon lemon juice

Instructions

In a mixing bowl, combine chicken pieces with seasoning salt, mayonnaise, garlic powder, and grated parmesan until well coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes.
In another bowl, mix softened butter, minced garlic, parsley, parmesan cheese, chili crunch, and lemon juice until well combined to create a compound butter.
Thread marinated chicken onto skewers and preheat your air fryer to 400ºF or prepare your grill.
Cook the skewers in the air fryer or on the grill for about 9 minutes total (6 minutes on one side followed by flipping).
When the chicken reaches an internal temperature of at least 150ºF, baste with garlic butter mixture and continue cooking until it reaches a safe temperature of 165ºF.
Serve warm and enjoy!
