Instructions
In a mixing bowl whisk olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper.
Add chicken pieces and toss to coat well. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes and up to 4 hours.
Thread chicken onto skewers, leaving a small gap between pieces for even cooking.
GRILL: Preheat grill to medium-high and oil grates. Cook skewers 10–12 minutes, turning every 2–3 minutes, until lightly charred and the centers reach 165°F (74°C).
OVEN: Preheat to 425°F (220°C). Arrange skewers on a lined baking sheet (rack if available). Bake 15–18 minutes, flipping halfway; broil 1–2 minutes to char.
AIR FRYER: Cook at 390–400°F for 10–12 minutes, turning once, until 165°F.
Brush hot skewers with melted butter, sprinkle generously with Parmesan, and finish with chopped herbs. Rest 2–3 minutes and serve.
