# Steps:
01 -
Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes.
02 -
Combine chicken seasonings in a small bowl. Cut chicken into 3-inch pieces, toss with olive oil and seasoning mixture ensuring thorough coating.
03 -
Thread seasoned chicken pieces tightly onto skewers, leaving no gaps. Trim skewers if needed to fit in air fryer.
04 -
Melt butter partially in a microwave-safe bowl. Stir in garlic, red pepper flakes, hot sauce, dry ranch seasoning, dill, onion powder, parsley, and Parmesan. Whisk until combined. If sauce separates, re-emulsify by adding 1-2 tbsp softened butter.
05 -
Place 2-3 skewers in an air fryer set to 400°F. Cook for 5 minutes, flip the skewers, baste with the sauce, and cook for another 2 minutes.
06 -
Flip skewers again, baste with sauce, and cook for an additional 5-6 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 165°F. Total cook time is 12-14 minutes.
07 -
Once cooked, baste skewers with reserved clean sauce, sprinkle with extra Parmesan, and serve.
08 -
Preheat oven to 450°F. Arrange skewers on a foil-lined baking sheet and bake for 14 minutes, flipping halfway and basting with sauce periodically. Broil for an additional 2 minutes to brown tops. Baste again with remaining sauce and sprinkle with Parmesan.

Preheat grill to medium-high. Cook skewers over direct heat for 5-6 minutes per side, basting with butter throughout the process. Baste once more after cooking and sprinkle with Parmesan.
