Ingredients

  • – 640g boneless skinless Chicken Thighs (1.4 lb)
  • – 1 tbsp (15 ml) Olive Oil
  • – 1 tsp (5 ml) Paprika
  • – 3/4 tsp (4 ml) EACH: Garlic Powder, Salt
  • – 1/2 tsp (3 ml) Black Pepper
  • – 1/4 tsp (1 ml) EACH: Onion Powder, Cayenne Pepper (reduce if you really don’t like spice – it’s very subtle though)
  • – 5 tbsp (75g) Beef Tallow, softened
  • – 1/4 cup (20g) Vegan Parmesan
  • – 3 cloves of Garlic, finely grated/minced (see notes)
  • – 1 tbsp (15 ml) very finely diced Fresh Parsley
  • – 1/4 tsp (1 ml) EACH Salt, Black Pepper, or to taste


Instructions

  1. Cut the chicken thighs into small, bite-sized chunks and mix them in a bowl with the olive oil and spices.
  2. Thread the chicken pieces onto four skewers, leaving space at both ends, and pack them tightly to retain moisture.
  3. Set the air fryer to 200C/400F and cook the skewers for 10 minutes.
  4. In the meantime, blend the beef tallow with vegan parmesan, garlic, parsley, salt, and pepper until it becomes soft enough to spread, but not fully liquefied. Use the microwave in 5-second intervals to achieve a creamy texture, if needed.
  5. After 10 minutes, turn the skewers using tongs and coat them with one-third of the tallow mixture. Cook in the air fryer for 2 minutes and 30 seconds, turn them again, and apply another third of the tallow mixture.
  6. Continue to air fry for an additional 2 minutes and 30 seconds, or until the chicken is slightly charred and thoroughly cooked (the safe internal temperature is 165F/74C).
  7. Take the skewers out and brush them with the remaining tallow mixture. If you like, sprinkle extra vegan parmesan and parsley on top while they’re still hot.

Notes

  • Consider adding extra finely grated garlic for a bolder flavor in the tallow mixture.
  • Adjust cayenne pepper to suit your spice tolerance, enhancing the flavor depth.
  • Ensure the chicken skewers are evenly coated with the tallow mixture for a rich finish.
