## Ingredients

- 640 g boneless skinless Chicken Thighs
- 1 tbsp Olive Oil
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 0.75 tsp Garlic Powder
- 0.75 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black Pepper
- 0.25 tsp Onion Powder
- 0.25 tsp Cayenne Pepper
- 75 g Unsalted Butter, softened
- 20 g freshly grated Parmesan
- 3 cloves Garlic, finely grated/minced
- 1 tbsp Fresh Parsley, very finely diced
- 0.25 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black Pepper

## Instructions

1. Slice the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces then combine in a bowl with the oil and seasoning.
2. Thread onto 4x 20cm/8” skewers, ensuring you leave a gap at both ends.
3. Place in the air fryer and cook at 200C/400F for 10 minutes.
4. Meanwhile, combine the butter with parmesan, garlic, parsley, salt and pepper.
5. Pop the butter in the microwave for 5 second blasts until you reach a soft, creamy consistency.
6. After 10 minutes, flip the skewers (easiest with tongs) and brush with 1/3 of the butter.
7. Air fry for 2 minutes and 30 seconds.
8. Flip them and brush with another 1/3 of the butter.
9. Air fry again for another 2 minutes and 30 seconds, or until lightly charred on the outside and piping hot right through the centre (safe internal temp for chicken is 165F/74C).
10. Remove the skewers and brush with the remainder of the butter.
11. Sprinkle over more parmesan & parsley whilst they’re still hot if desired.

## Equipment

- air fryer
- skewers
- bowl
- tongs
- brush
- microwave

## Tips

- Make sure the chicken pieces are nice and compact on the skewers so they stay nice and juicy.
- You want the butter to be soft enough to brush, but not completely melted; a little creamy.
- If wary of cross-contamination, save 1/3 of the butter for the final baste and use a different brush or clean the first one.
