Recipe highlights

This recipe is ready in under 30 minutes.

You can use chicken breast or chicken thighs.

This recipe can be made in the oven or in the air fryer. You can also fire up the grill if you prefer a more smokey flavor.

Ingredients

• Chicken breast of chicken thighs: Cut into bite size pieces.
• Grated parmesan cheese: Gives the chicken incredible umami flavors and compliments the roasted garlic dipping sauce.
• Paprika: For a smokey flavor.
• Onion salt: I love the combo of paprika, garlic and onion salt.
• Garlic: We will use a whole head of garlic. Roasting the garlic adds sweetness and delicious flavor to the sauce.
• Mayo: To give the sauce a nice creamy texture.
• Butter: As the base of the sauce adds rich flavor and texture.
• Cilantro/parsley: the original recipe uses chopped cilantro but in my opinion parsley compliments the parmesan cheese better.
• I always like to add salt and pepper even if my seasonings have some salt in them. You know your seasonings and your salt tolerance so add salt to taste if you prefer.

Instructions

Cut the chicken into bite size pieces.

Season the chicken with the spices, oil, parmesan and set aside to marinate for 20 minutes.

While the chicken is marinating, make the roasted garlic. Cut the top of the garlic to expose the cloves as much as possible.

Drizzle with avocado oil and wrap in foil or use a mini dutch oven. Bake at 400F for about 30 minutes.

Remove the garlic from the oven. Let the garlic cool down slightly and carefully squeeze the roasted garlic cloves out.

Bake in the oven at 400F for about 30-40 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165F. Every oven is different so keep an eye on the chicken and flip it over if necessary.

Use a sauce pan to melt some butter, add the roasted garlic cloves, onion powder and red chili flakes if desired. Remove from the heat and stir in the mayo.

Brush the chicken with the garlic butter, garnish with parsley and enjoy.

Storage and reheating

These chicken skewers are best when fresh. I personally do not enjoy the taste of reheated chicken so I do not recommend reheating this recipe.

If you have leftovers they will keep well in the fridge for up to 2-3 days.

I do not recommend freezing this recipe.
