Garlic Parmesan Chicken Skewers

Garlic Parmesan Chicken Skewers are cubes of chicken tossed in a flavorful blend of mayonnaise and spices, cooked in an air fryer, and drizzled with garlic parmesan sauce. The chicken is so tender and juicy, and the skewers can be enjoyed as an appetizer or as the main course. You can also make the chicken in the oven or on a grill!
