Cut chicken into 3-inch pieces, place in a bowl or zip-top bag, and toss with olive oil and combined seasonings to evenly coat.

Thread chicken pieces tightly onto skewers, leaving no gaps, and trim excess skewer length if needed to fit into your cooking device.

Combine butter and minced garlic in a microwave-safe bowl and heat until partially melted. Stir in red pepper flakes, hot sauce, parsley, and grated parmesan, whisking until smooth. Reserve 1/3 of the sauce for basting partially cooked chicken.

Cook 2-3 skewers in an air fryer at 400°F for 5 minutes. Flip skewers, baste with reserved sauce, and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Flip again, baste, and continue cooking for 5-6 more minutes or until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.

Apply reserved clean garlic parmesan sauce to fully cooked skewers, sprinkle with additional parmesan, and serve warm.

Ensure wooden skewers are soaked to avoid burning.
