Ingredients

CHICKEN

  • 2 chicken breasts sliced into thin strips
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 cup buffalo sauce
  • Wooden skewers

GARLIC PARMESAN SAUCE

  • 1 head roasted garlic
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 1/4 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/4 tsp dried basil
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 Fresno chile pepper minced

Instructions

  • Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips and place them into a large mixing bowl. Season with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and buffalo sauce, tossing until all the chicken is evenly coated.
  • Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the chicken to marinate and absorb the flavor. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water during this time to prevent burning.
  • While the chicken marinates, prepare the garlic parmesan sauce by combining the roasted garlic, mayonnaise, sugar, Parmesan cheese, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, and seasonings in a bowl. Mix thoroughly until smooth and creamy, then fold in the minced Fresno chile pepper.
  • Thread the marinated chicken strips tightly onto the skewers, weaving them back and forth for even cooking. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F while assembling the skewers.
  • Place the skewers into the air fryer basket in a single layer and cook for 14–18 minutes, flipping halfway through cooking. The chicken should develop crispy edges and reach an internal temperature of 165°F.
  • Remove the skewers from the air fryer and immediately brush generously with the garlic parmesan sauce while still hot. Serve warm with extra sauce on the side and enjoy.
