Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Prepare Marinade: In a mixing bowl, melt butter. Add minced garlic, grated parmesan cheese, hot sauce, red pepper flakes, chopped fresh parsley, dry ranch seasoning, dill, onion powder, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Whisk until smooth.
  2. Marinate Chicken: Place chicken tenders in a bowl or resealable bag. Pour half of the marinade over chicken, ensuring even coating. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes.
  3. Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
  4. Skewer Chicken: Thread marinated chicken tenders onto wooden or metal skewers, leaving space between pieces. Soak wooden skewers in water for 20 minutes.
  5. Cook: Place chicken skewers in the preheated air fryer. Cook at 375°F (190°C) for 15 minutes, flipping halfway and brushing with remaining marinade in the last few minutes.
  6. Serve: Ensure chicken reaches 165°F. Remove from air fryer, let rest briefly, then serve hot as an appetizer or main course.
