Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, lemon pepper seasoning, minced garlic, Parmesan cheese, and salt. Mix well.
- Add the chicken pieces to the bowl and toss until they are fully coated in the mixture. Let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or up to 24 hours for best results.
- Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (190°C). If your air fryer requires preheating.
- Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the soaked wooden skewers.
- Arrange the skewers in the air fryer basket, ensuring they don't touch or overlap. Spray them with a bit of cooking spray if you wish, I do because I think it helps make them a bit more golden. You may need to cook in batches depending on the size of your air fryer. Cook the skewers for 12-15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown, flipping halfway through cooking time.
- While the skewers are cooking, prepare the garlic Parmesan sauce. Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley until well combined.
- Once the skewers are done, brush them with the garlic Parmesan sauce.
- Serve the skewers hot, with extra sauce on the side for dipping if desired.

Notes
- Optimal Cut: Ensure chicken pieces are uniformly cut to about 1-inch size for even cooking and easy skewering.
- Marinating Magic: The longer the marination, the deeper the flavors. If you're short on time, even a quick 30-minute marinate can still be tasty!
- Wooden Skewers: Don’t forget to soak your wooden skewers for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from burning during cooking.
- Air Fryer Capacity: Be mindful of not overcrowding the air fryer basket to ensure even cooking of the skewers.
- Sauce Save: Reserve a bit of the garlic Parmesan sauce before brushing it onto the cooked chicken for those who love extra dipping!
- Herb Freshness: Garnish with a fresh sprinkle of parsley for a vibrant color and refreshing burst of flavor before serving.
- Check for Doneness: Ensure chicken is fully cooked to a safe internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) using a meat thermometer.
