Description

Air Fryer Bacon Wrapped Chicken Bites are a delicious and easy appetizer that combines tender chicken and crispy bacon. These bite-sized treats are seasoned to perfection and air-fried for a quick, mess-free meal. Perfect for parties, snacks, or even as a main dish, they’re sure to be a crowd favorite

Ingredients 

  • 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts,, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 12 strips bacon, each cut into thirds or halves (depending on the size of the chicken pieces)
  • 1 cup barbecue sauce, of your favorite barbecue sauce
  • 1 teaspoons seasonings, optional

Instructions

  • Set your air fryer temperature to 390 degrees F (200°C) preheat for 2-3 minutes.
  • Dry the chicken with a paper towel. Toss the chicken pieces with your chosen 1 teaspoons seasonings in a medium bowl until they are evenly coated.
  • Take a piece of chicken and wrap a slice of bacon around it. Secure the bacon in place with a toothpick. Repeat this process with all the chicken pieces.
  • Brush each bacon-wrapped chicken bite with barbecue sauce. You can mix in a bit of honey with the barbecue sauce for a sweeter taste. If you're using brown sugar, sprinkle it lightly over the bites.
  • Place the chicken bites in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they don’t touch each other for even cooking. You may need to cook in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
  • Set cook time for 10-15 minutes or until the bacon is crispy and the chicken is cooked. Halfway through the cooking time, you might want to flip the bites to ensure they cook evenly.
  • The internal temperature of the chicken should be 165°F (74°C). If the bacon isn’t as crispy as you’d like, you can cook it for a few more minutes.
