Calories: 175kcal
Ingredients
- 8 wooden skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes
- 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts, about 1 ½ pounds, cut into 1-inch cubes
- ½ cup buffalo sauce
- 1 tablespoon dry ranch seasoning mix
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- fresh parsley, chopped for garnish
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the buffalo sauce, ranch seasoning mix, oil, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Pour half of the sauce into a separate bowl. Set aside to use after the chicken has been cooked.
- To the large bowl with half of the sauce, add chicken. Toss to coat evenly.
- Working one skewer at a time, thread 4-5 chicken cubes onto the soaked wooden skewers, leaving a little space between each piece.
- Working in batches (3-4 skewers at a time, depending on the size of your air fryer), air fry* at 400°F for 11-12 minutes, flipping halfway, or until the chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165°F.
- Once the chicken skewers are cooked through, carefully remove them from the air fryer and place them on a serving platter.
- Drizzle or brush with the reserved buffalo ranch sauce. Garnish with parsley. Serve.
