Ingredients

Chicken & Seasoning:

  • 2 lbs chicken tenders (or thighs/breasts), cut into 3-inch pieces
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1½ tbsp dry ranch seasoning
  • 1 tsp dried dill
  • 2 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper

Garlic Parmesan Butter Sauce:

  • 1 stick (½ cup) unsalted butter
  • 8–10 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tbsp hot sauce (adjust to taste)
  • 2 tsp red pepper flakes
  • ⅓ cup fresh parsley, minced
  • 1 tbsp dry ranch seasoning
  • 1 tsp dried dill
  • ½ tsp onion powder

Other:

  • Wooden skewers (soaked in water for 30 minutes)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: In a bowl, mix all chicken seasonings. Add chicken pieces, olive oil, and seasonings. Toss to coat thoroughly. Thread chicken tightly onto soaked skewers.
  2. Make Garlic Parmesan Sauce: Melt butter in a saucepan or microwave with minced garlic. Add Parmesan, hot sauce, red pepper flakes, herbs, and remaining seasonings. Whisk to combine. Reserve ⅔ of the sauce for final basting, and use ⅓ for cooking.
  3. Cook (Air Fryer Method): Preheat air fryer to 400°F. Cook 2–3 skewers at a time for 5 minutes. Flip and baste with sauce. Cook for 2 more minutes, flip again, baste, and cook 5–6 more minutes or until internal temp reaches 165°F. Finish with reserved garlic butter and extra Parmesan.
  4. Alternate Oven Method: Preheat oven to 450°F. Bake skewers on a foil-lined sheet for 14 minutes, flipping halfway and basting throughout. Broil for 2 minutes at the end. Finish with reserved sauce and Parmesan.
  5. Alternate Grill Method: Grill skewers over medium-high heat, 5–6 minutes per side, basting with garlic butter as they cook. Finish with a final drizzle of sauce and Parmesan.

Notes

  • Ensure wooden skewers are soaked to prevent burning during cooking.
  • Adjust hot sauce to suit your spice preference.
  • Store any leftover skewers in the fridge for up to four days.
