Equipment

  • Air Fryer
  • Wooden Skewers

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 8 wooden skewers soaked in water
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts about 1 pound, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper
  • 0.5 cup cowboy butter melted
  • fresh parsley chopped, for garnish

Instructions
 

  • In a bowl, combine chicken cubes with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Toss until evenly coated.
  • Thread 4–5 pieces of chicken onto each soaked skewer, leaving a little space between pieces.
  • Preheat air fryer to 400°F. Cook skewers for 11–12 minutes, flipping halfway, until chicken reaches 165°F internally.
  • Remove skewers and place on a platter. Immediately brush with melted cowboy butter.
  • Garnish with chopped parsley and serve warm.
  • Optional: Bake at 400°F for 20–25 minutes, or grill over medium-high heat for 8–10 minutes per side, brushing with butter as they cook.

Notes

For best results, don’t skip soaking the skewers. Brush with butter while hot for full flavor absorption. This recipe works great for parties, weeknight meals, or backyard gatherings.
