If using wood skewers, soak them in water for 20-30 minutes so they don’t burn in the air fryer. If using metal, just make sure they fit into your air fryer.

Cut your chicken into two inch pieces and combine them in a bowl with your olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper and mix making sure the chicken is coated well on all sides.

In a saucepan over low heat, melt your butter. Add in your garlic and then take the pan off the heat after it becomes fragrant, about one minute. Mix in your parmesan cheese, lemon juice and zest, and parsley. (leaving about a teaspoon or two of the parsley aside for garnish)

Set aside a third of the butter sauce to use for basting the partially cooked chicken. Keep the rest of the sauce for basting the fully cooked chicken to avoid any cross-contamination.

Tightly pack the chicken onto your skewers leaving no spaces. (about 6-8 pieces per skewer) Trim the ends of your skewers if needed to fit in your air fryer.

Preheat your air fryer to 350 degrees.

With a basting brush, baste all sides of the chicken with the parmesan butter.

Air fry for 5 minutes, flip skewers, baste with butter sauce again, and air fry for another 5 minutes. Repeat this process once more for 15 minutes total cook time. (cook in batches based on your air fryer size)

Pour any leftover butter sauce from the bottom of your air fryer over your chicken skewers.

Garnish with the parsley you set aside earlier, and serve with lemon wedges.
