Instructions
1-Ready to fire up the grill? Follow this simple step-by-step guide for making Grilled Ranch Garlic Parmesan Chicken Skewers, and youβll have a delicious meal in no time. Start by soaking wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to avoid any burning mishaps thatβs a must for smooth grilling.
2-Next, mix the chicken seasonings in a bowl: combine 1.5 tablespoons dry ranch seasoning, 1 teaspoon dried dill, 2 teaspoons paprika, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Cut your 2 lbs of chicken into 3-inch pieces, then toss them with 2 tablespoons olive oil and this seasoning mix until everything is evenly coated. This step really locks in that ranch garlic parmesan chicken flavor.
3-Thread the seasoned chicken pieces tightly onto the soaked skewers, trimming the ends if needed for a perfect fit on the grill. Now, for the sauce: melt 1 stick of butter with 8 to 10 minced garlic cloves, then whisk in 2 teaspoons red pepper flakes, 1 tablespoon hot sauce, 1 tablespoon dry ranch seasoning, 1 teaspoon dried dill, 1/2 teaspoon onion powder, 1/3 cup minced fresh parsley, and 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese. If the sauce starts to separate, add a bit of softened butter and stir to fix it.
4-Set aside one-third of the sauce for basting and keep the rest for serving. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, then grill the skewers over direct heat for 5 to 6 minutes per side, basting often with the reserved sauce to keep things moist. Once done, remove the skewers, give them one last baste, and sprinkle extra parmesan on top. The total prep time is about 20 minutes, cooking takes 12 to 14 minutes, so youβre looking at around 35 minutes overall quick and easy!
