Equipment
- Air Fryer
- Silicone cake pan
- Toothpicks
Ingredients
- Chicken breasts (4 medium)
- 50 g Grated mozzarella cheese
- 8 Back bacon
- 50 g Grated cheddar cheese
BBQ Sauce
- 240 ml Barbeque sauce
- 4 tbsp Honey
- 1 tsp Frozen chopped garlic
- 2 tsp Sweet paprika
Instructions
- Wrapping the ChickenOn a chopping board, wrap 2 back rashers around each chicken breast until fully covered, then secure with a toothpick or cocktail stick. I opted for chicken breast, though boneless chicken thighs work just as well. For serving, allocate one chicken breast per person.If you are using chicken thighs, consider using two per person, as they are typically smaller. Furthermore, you can use any type of bacon you prefer.However, very thin bacon tends to cook too quickly and can end up overdone. So, for the best results in this chicken and bacon air fryer recipe, I will recommend using back bacon.
- Put the Chicken in the Air FryerArrange the chicken wrapped in bacon in the air fryer basket and cook for 28 minutes at 180°C (360°F), or until the chicken is thoroughly cooked. While the chicken is cooking, let’s prepare the sauce.
- Barbeque Sauce PreparationWhile the chicken is cooking, combine the barbeque sauce ingredients in a small bowl using a spoon. Then, spread a layer of the barbeque sauce on the bottom of a silicone baking pan that fits your air fryer. When the air fryer makes a sound, take out the chicken and carefully remove the cocktail sticks used to secure the chicken.
- Cook and ServeTransfer the chicken to the barbeque sauce, then generously sprinkle the grated cheese over the top. Next, air fryer the Hunter’s Chicken for an additional five minutes at 180°C (360°F) to melt the cheese and warm up the barbeque sauce. You can serve it with your favorite side dish.This dish pairs well with a variety of side dishes. You can either serve it with roast potatoes, sweet potato wedges, air fryer broccoli, etc. The choice is all yours.
