In a mixing bowl, toss the chicken, lemon zest, 2 teaspoons of the Hidden Valley® Black Pepper Parmesan Premium Recipe Mix and olive oil together until well coated. Thread the chicken pieces onto the skewers until there is an even amount, close together but not too tight.
Lay the skewers down into the basket of your air fryer. Air fry for 12 minutes at 400°F. Flip and air fry for another 6-8 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Meanwhile, make the glaze. In a small bowl mix together the butter, lemon zest, sugar, remaining teaspoon seasoning mix and lemon juice.
Once the skewers are cooked, baste with the lemon pepper butter, drizzle with Hidden Valley® Original Ranch® Topping & Dressing, and serve immediately.
Ingredient Tips:
Chicken: Boneless, skinless chicken thighs are juicer than chicken breast, but both work well.
Skewer: If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 15-20 minutes to prevent burning.
