Bacon-wrapped chicken is a mouthwatering dish that combines the savory goodness of bacon with tender chicken. Here’s how to make bacon-wrapped chicken in an air fryer:
Ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 8 slices of bacon
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Toothpicks or cooking twine
Instructions:
- Start by preheating your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
- In a small bowl, combine the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. This will be your seasoning mix.
- Season each chicken breast with the seasoning mix on both sides.
- Take two slices of bacon for each chicken breast. Lay them flat on a clean surface, slightly overlapping.
- Place a seasoned chicken breast on top of the bacon slices and wrap the bacon around the chicken, securing it with toothpicks or cooking twine as needed. Make sure the bacon is tightly wrapped around the chicken.
- Repeat this process for all the chicken breasts.
- Place the bacon-wrapped chicken breasts in the preheated air fryer basket. Make sure they are not touching to allow for even cooking.
- Cook the bacon-wrapped chicken in the air fryer for about 20-25 minutes, flipping them halfway through, or until the bacon is crispy and the chicken is cooked through. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165°F (74°C).
- Once done, remove the bacon-wrapped chicken from the air fryer and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
- Serve your delicious Bacon-Wrapped Chicken hot, garnished with fresh herbs or your favorite dipping sauce.
