Equipment
Ingredients
- 8 wooden skewers soaked in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning
- 2 large boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 1 ½ pounds), cut into 1-inch cubes for even cooking
- ½ cup buffalo sauce
- 1 tablespoon dry ranch seasoning mix
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1/2 teaspoon sweet paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon celery salt optional
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- Fresh parsley finely chopped, for garnish
Instructions
- Make the Sauce: In a large bowl, combine buffalo sauce, ranch seasoning, oil, paprika, celery salt, onion powder, garlic powder, and pepper. Mix until smooth.
- Divide the Sauce: Pour half the sauce into a separate bowl for later use.
- Marinate Chicken: Add the chicken to the remaining sauce in the large bowl. Toss to coat well.
- Assemble Skewers: Thread 4-5 marinated chicken cubes onto each pre-soaked skewer, leaving space between each cube.
- Cooking: Air fry the skewers at 400°F for 11-12 minutes, turning halfway through, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
- Serve: Remove skewers from the air fryer, place on a platter, and drizzle with the reserved sauce. Garnish with chopped parsley, drizzle with some ranch dressing( if desired) and serve.
Notes
Store leftover chicken skewers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Alternatively, remove the chicken from the skewers before storing. Reheat in the oven, microwave, or skillet. Keep leftover buffalo ranch sauce in the refrigerator and brush it over reheated chicken before serving.
