Ingredients
2 lbs chicken (tenders, thighs, or breast)
2 tbsp olive oil
1 stick unsalted butter
8–10 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
1 tbsp hot sauce
2 tsp red pepper flakes
1/3 cup minced fresh parsley
2 tsp paprika
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
Instructions
1-Skewer the chicken: Cut chicken into 1 to 1.5-inch cubes, pat dry, and thread onto skewers leaving space between pieces.
2-Make the garlic parmesan butter: Melt butter, stir in minced garlic, hot sauce, red pepper flakes, parsley, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper; cook 1 minute until fragrant, then remove from heat and whisk in parmesan until smooth.
3-Grill to perfection: Preheat grill to medium-high (375-400°F), brush skewers with olive oil, grill 3-4 minutes per side, baste with garlic parmesan butter in the last 2-3 minutes, cook until internal temp reaches 165°F, then rest before serving.

💡 Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling to prevent them from burning.
💡 Marinate the chicken in the garlic butter sauce for at least 30 minutes in the fridge so the flavor seeps deep into the meat.
💡 Let the skewers rest for 5 minutes after grilling so the juices redistribute and every bite stays moist.
