Discover a new twist on a classic favorite with our Crispy Garlic-Parmesan Chicken Skewers. Perfect for gatherings or a family dinner, these skewers offer a delicious blend of flavors that are sure to impress. Let’s dive into the recipe.
Ingredients:
- 1 lb chicken tenders, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon hot sauce (adjust to taste)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Wooden or metal skewers (if using wooden skewers, soak in water for 30 minutes prior to use to prevent burning)
Instructions:
- Preparation: Preheat your grill or oven to a medium-high setting (about 375°F if using an oven). In a small bowl, combine the melted butter and minced garlic. In a separate dish, mix the grated Parmesan with the chopped parsley, and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Marinate the Chicken: In a large mixing bowl, toss the chicken pieces with the garlic butter mixture until well-coated. Let it marinate for about 15-20 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- Skewer the Chicken: Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the skewers. Make sure not to overcrowd the skewers to ensure even cooking.
- Cooking: Place the skewers on the grill or on a baking sheet if you’re using an oven. Grill or bake, turning occasionally, until the chicken is golden and cooked through, about 10-15 minutes depending on the size of your chicken pieces.
- Finishing Touches: Once cooked, immediately brush the hot sauce over the chicken skewers for that extra kick of flavor. Then, generously sprinkle the Parmesan-parsley mixture over the skewers, ensuring each piece is well-coated.
- Serve: Allow the skewers to cool slightly, then serve them warm. These chicken skewers are perfect on their own or with a side of crisp greens or your favorite dipping sauce.
