Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound Chicken Tenders/Thighs/Breasts
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
- 2 tablespoons Dry Ranch Seasoning
- 1 teaspoon Dried Dill
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion Powder
- Salt to taste
- Black Pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup Butter
- 3 cloves Fresh Garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese
- Hot Sauce to taste
- Red Pepper Flakes to taste (optional)
- Fresh Parsley for garnish
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine olive oil, dry ranch seasoning, dill, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Add chicken pieces and toss to coat evenly. Thread seasoned chicken onto soaked skewers.
- Melt butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir in minced garlic, grated Parmesan cheese, hot sauce, red pepper flakes, and any remaining seasonings. Reserve about ⅔ of the sauce for basting.
- Cook chicken skewers:
- Air Fryer: Preheat to 400°F. Cook in batches for 5-6 minutes per side, basting with sauce, until internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- Oven: Preheat to 450°F. Arrange skewers on a foil-lined baking sheet, bake for 14 minutes, flipping halfway, then broil for 2 minutes.
- Grill: Heat grill to medium-high. Grill skewers for 5-6 minutes per side, continually basting.
- Serve by drizzling the reserved garlic sauce over cooked skewers. Sprinkle with extra Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley before enjoying.
Notes
- Serve with a side of creamy ranch dip for extra flavor.
- Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before cooking to prevent burning.
- For best results, use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
