How to make it

  1. 1

    Season and skewer the chicken

    Slice the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces.

    Combine in a bowl with the olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, onion powder and cayenne pepper.

    Thread onto 4 x 20 cm skewers, leaving a gap at both ends and keeping the pieces nice and compact so they stay juicy.

  2. 2

    Air fry the skewers

    Place the skewers in the air fryer and cook at 200C/400F.

  3. 3

    Make the garlic parmesan butter

    Combine the softened butter with the Parmesan, garlic, parsley, salt and pepper.

    The butter should be soft enough to brush but not completely melted - a little creamy.

    Microwave in 5 second blasts until you reach this consistency.

  4. 4

    Flip, baste and finish cooking

    After 10 minutes, flip the skewers (easiest with a pair of tongs) and brush with 1/3 of the butter.

    Air fry for 2 minutes and 30 seconds, then flip them and brush with another 1/3 of the butter.

    Air fry again for another 2 minutes and 30 seconds, or until lightly charred on the outside and piping hot right through the centre (safe internal temp for chicken is 165F/74C).

  5. 5

    Final baste and serve

    Remove the skewers and brush with the remainder of the butter.

    Sprinkle over more Parmesan and parsley whilst they're still hot if desired.

    Serve in a flatbread with Caesar dressing or on top of mashed potato.
