Garlic Parmesan chicken skewers – an easy, flavourful recipe.
These garlic Parmesan chicken skewers are packed with flavour – and they are very easy to make. Once cooked, the hot skewers are brushed with a butter sauce of garlic, parsley and Parmesan, which melts down over the meat and makes them completely irresistible.
The recipe is inspired by the American trend “Garlic Parmesan Chicken Skewers”, which has been a big hit on social media in the US. And with good reason! The combination of spiced chicken, Parmesan and herb butter hits the spot every time. Here is my take on the popular dish – which you can make in:
- Air fryer – quick and easy
- Oven – ideal for larger batches
- Frying pan – if you want a proper seared crust and a hint of grilled flavour
Serving suggestions
These skewers work just as well on a weeknight as at the weekend – try serving them:
- With boiled rice and steamed vegetables
- With a fresh salad and homemade flatbread
- Alongside a creamy Parmesan or lemon pasta
- In a wrap with vegetables and yogurt dressing
- On a buffet with small tapas-style bites or in a bowl with quinoa and dressing

Method
- Cut the chicken into thin strips. If you are using mini fillets, halve them horizontally (parallel to the board) so the pieces are thinner. You can also cut the chicken into cubes.
- Mix the spices and toss the chicken in them together with the oil, then season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Thread the chicken onto the skewers, folding each piece back and forth so it sits in layers. Push the pieces together so they sit snugly, but do not squash them too much.
- Cook the skewers in an air fryer for about 10-12 minutes at 200°C, or in a preheated conventional oven (top and bottom heat) for about 10-12 minutes at 215°C.Timings vary depending on the air fryer or oven you use and the thickness of the pieces – so check on them as they cook.
- Meanwhile, melt the butter in a saucepan and cook the garlic and chilli flakes over a low heat for 3-4 minutes. It must not brown.
- Add the lemon zest and season with freshly ground black pepper.
- Take the pan off the heat and stir the Parmesan into the butter first, then the parsley.
- Brush the hot chicken skewers generously with the Parmesan and garlic butter and serve straight away.

Hej, jeg skal lave disse spyd til min datters studentervogntur. Hvor mange spyd kommer der ud af den portion du har i opskriften m 600 gr kylling
Tror du, man vil kunne følge samme procedure med hele kyllingebryster? Og ville du i så fald også tilberede dem i airfryer? 🙂
Lækre, saftige og smagfulde. Jeg brugte dog frisk basilikum i stedet for persille, da jeg ikke havde persille.
Hej Rikke
Hvor er det dejligt at høre – tusind tak for de søde ord 🙂
Warm wishes, Dianna
Har prøvet opskriften og de blev simpelthen så lækre. Vi spiste salat og brød til og forskellige dip⭐️
