Here is a great recipe, which is a twist on a basic air fried chicken dish, before I had my air fryer, I would use the grill to make all of my chicken dishes, and my kids loved it so, I decided to try it in the air fryer. You know what, I think chicken does better in the air fryer than on the grill.
This chicken was a huge hit with my kids, and it was an easy meal. And isn’t it easy, when the entire family east the same meal?
This chicken dish can be made ahead of time, just cover it with aluminum foil, depending on how long dinner is, from the time you make it until you eat it. If it’s a long time, remember to keep it in the refrigerator, until ready to eat.
I have a few air fryers, my most recent purchase would be the Vortex, by Instant Pot. I actually have two. I have never used an air fryer oven before that, and I was presently surprised, you can read my review here—
Here are the step by step instructions, so you can make it in your own air fryer,
Start by trimming the chicken into long tenderloins.
Use about 3 pieces per each piece of chicken, and wrap them around the chicken.
Set the chicken in the air fryer basket or in the air fryer tray. set the temperature to 380 degrees F, for 6 minutes. (air fryer setting)
After the 6 minutes, carefully brush some maple syrup on the bacon and chicken. Then air fry for another 4 minutes.
Plate, serve, and enjoy!

So easy and so good. I didn’t have any regular bacon, but I had some partially cooked bacon. I let it soften a bit before I wrapped the chicken. I reduced the temperature to 360°F in my Instant Pot Vortex 6. It turned out perfectly. The chicken was just done enough and plenty juicy and the bacon was perfect.
It will become a frequent meal at our house. Thanks!
