I got an air fryer for Christmas, and I am OBSESSED! So many new air fryer recipes coming your way—get ready! Pro Tip: If you want extra caramelization, brush on a little more BBQ sauce in the last couple of minutes of cooking!
The recipe:
Cut the chicken tenders into bite-sized cubes.
Cut each bacon slice in half and wrap one half around each BBQ-coated chicken piece.
Place the bacon-wrapped bites seam-side down in the air fryer basket to keep them secure. I used bamboo skewers to hold the bacon in place.
Air fry at 400°F for 7 minutes, then flip and cook for another 7 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the chicken is fully cooked. (Total time: ~14 minutes)
Serve hot with ranch or your favorite dipping sauce. Enjoy!
