Parmesan-Crusted Chicken Skewers in the Air Fryer
  1. 1

    Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) following the manufacturer’s directions.

  2. 2

    Put the chicken tenders in a large bowl. Add olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, parsley flakes, salt, and pepper, and toss to coat. Add the grated Parmesan cheese and toss again until evenly combined.

  3. 3

    Thread one tender onto each skewer and place the skewers in the air fryer basket in a single layer. They may touch but should not overlap.

  4. 4

    Cook for 7 minutes. Flip the skewers and cook until the chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 3 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the center should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
