How to Make Bacon Wrapped Chicken in the Air Fryer

  1. Preheat the Air Fryer to 400 degrees F. Prepare the air fryer basket with nonstick cooking spray or olive oil spray.
  2. Add the seasonings to a small bowl and set it aside.
  3. Take the clean and dry chicken breasts and rub both sides evenly with the seasoning rub.
  4. Wrap each chicken breast with 2 pieces of bacon, trying to keep the ends of the bacon underneath the chicken breast.
  5. Place the bacon-wrapped chicken breasts into the bottom of the prepared air fryer basket.
  6. Air Fry the chicken at 400 degrees F for 15 minutes, then turn down the temperature to 370 degrees F for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the internal temperature has reached 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  7. Serve immediately with your favorite sides.

NOTE: All air fryers can cook differently and at different powers. It's always a good idea to test out your recipe beforehand to check if you need to add more or less time to the recipe.
