# Steps to Follow:
01 -
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and black pepper until well integrated.
02 -
Add the chicken cubes to the marinade and toss until evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for enhanced flavor development.
03 -
Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto skewers, leaving small gaps between each piece to ensure even cooking throughout.
04 -
Set your air fryer to 200°C and preheat for 3 minutes before cooking.
05 -
Arrange skewers in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring they don't overlap. Cook for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 74°C and develops a golden exterior.
06 -
Transfer the finished skewers to a serving platter. Garnish with additional Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, and serve with lemon wedges for a bright finish.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
For extra texture, try sprinkling panko breadcrumbs on the chicken before air frying
02 -
Boneless, skinless chicken thighs can be substituted for a juicier result
03 -
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat in the air fryer
