Cut chicken into bite-sized pieces if using breast or thigh.
Season with salt and pepper.
2. Assemble Skewers:
Thread chicken pieces onto skewers, leaving a little space between each piece for even cooking.
3. Make Garlic Parmesan Butter:
In a small saucepan, melt butter with olive oil over medium heat.
Add minced garlic and cook 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
Stir in Parmesan cheese and hot sauce, if using. Remove from heat.
4. Air Fry the Skewers:
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 3–5 minutes.
Place skewers in the basket in a single layer. Cook for 10–12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until chicken is golden brown and cooked through (internal temp 165°F / 74°C).
5. Coat with Garlic Parmesan Butter:
Immediately brush the hot garlic Parmesan mixture over the cooked skewers.
6. Serve:
Serve hot with extra Parmesan sprinkled on top, a side salad, or roasted veggies.
