step by step

Method

  1. Soak the skewers

    • If using wooden skewers, soak them in water so they don't burn.
    Step 1
  2. Marinate the chicken

    • Cut the chicken thighs into large bite-sized pieces.
    • Mix the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, seasoning salt, lemon juice, mayonnaise and olive oil with the chicken in a bowl and toss to coat.
    • Marinate for as long as you can, from a minute up to overnight for the best flavor.
    Step 2
  3. Preheat the air fryer

    • Preheat the air fryer to 190 °C.
    Step 3
  4. Make the garlic parmesan herb butter

    • Melt the butter in a large pan, then add the minced garlic and cook over medium-low heat.
    • Add the grated parmesan, hot sauce, chopped parsley and chili flakes, mix together, then set aside.
    Step 4
  5. Divide the butter

    • Set aside half of the garlic butter and use the other half to baste the chicken as it cooks.
    Step 5
  6. Skewer and air fry the chicken

    • Thread the chicken onto the skewers.
    • Cook, then baste with garlic butter and flip.
    • Cook again, baste once more with garlic butter and flip.
    Step 6
  7. Crisp the edges

    • Increase the temperature to 205 °C for the last few minutes to get extra crispy edges.
    Step 7
  8. Rest and finish

    • Once the chicken is cooked through, let it rest.
