Ingredient Tips:

Chicken: You can use either store-bought rotisserie chicken and shred it or just a boneless, skinless chicken breast and cook it in the air fryer.

Cheese: Use any grated cheese you want, I used shredded cheddar, but you can use Monterey Cheese, Mexican Cheese, or even shredded mozzarella cheese.

Ranch Dressing: use homemade or store-bought Ranch Dressing. Either will work for this recipe.

Bacon: You can use regular or turkey bacon. Both regular air fryer bacon and air fryer turkey bacon can be prepared in the air fryer before making the crescent bites.

Seasonings: While I did not add any herbs, you can add some garlic or onion powder, or even some hot sauce, to add some spice.

How To Make Ahead Of Time:

You can freeze the crescent bites for up to 24 hours and then air fry them! But, since they are so easy to make, I would make the filling, and then when you are ready to air fry them, roll out the dough. And then cook them per the directions below.

How To Store:

Cooks who bake crescent rolls frequently know that they can be a little fussy about storing. If not kept in the refrigerator, they can quickly become dry and crumbly. However, you can keep them fresh for longer and have fluffy, delicious crescent rolls every time with a few tips!

After making these Air Fryer Crack Chicken Crescent Bites let them cool to room temperature and then place them into an airtight container. They will last for 2 to 3 days. You can either reheat in the microwave or the air fryer. Heat until warmed through.
