Two words, this is so easy to make and as with anything wrapped in bacon, the chicken will stay moist, until it is time to eat. Plus, did I mention that the chicken is wrapped with bacon, and everyone loves bacon, everyone!
So it will be soon a family favorite. My kids love it, add whatever spices interest your family.
Here are some of my family’s favorite chicken dishes I have made in the air fryer,
Here are some simple tips for making these bacon chicken wrapped chicken tenders,
- Start by cutting your chicken into uniform sizes, this way all of the chicken cooks at the same time.
- Cut your bacon in half, so it can easily be wrapped around the chicken, if you have any excess hanging out, it generally will not cook evenly, and cause the rest of your bacon to unevenly cook. So, my best advice is to cut it in half.
- If you are having a hard time keeping the bacon around the chicken, simply use a toothpick (remember to check your model’s recommendations)
- Use tongs to flip the chicken. Since you are using bacon to coat the chicken the bacon grease is hot, do yourself a favor, and use tongs to flip the chicken.
- One of the tips that I learned in my air frying journey was to put a piece of bread under the air fryer basket, the bread will absorb most of the grease.
