How to Make Bacon Wrapped Chicken in the Air Fryer

Preheat the air fryer to 380 degrees F. 

Combine the seasonings in a small bowl and coat the chicken breasts with the seasoning. Wrap the seasoned chicken breasts in two pieces of bacon. Try to keep the ends of the bacon underneath the chicken during cooking. 

Cook at 380 degrees F for 15 minutes. Then add an additional 10-15 minutes until the chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165 F. 

Carefully remove from the air fryer and serve with your favorite sides.

NOTE: All air fryers cook differently. This recipe was cooked perfectly with these times using a Cosori 5.8. Depending on the brand, you may need to adjust the cooking time down or up a minute or two.

Air Fryer Bacon Wrapped Chicken FAQs

Can you make this with thick bacon instead of thin?

You’re going to want to thinner bacon for two reasons. One is that it makes less bacon grease to clean up and the other being that it makes for a faster cooking process with a crisp outer layer as the outcome.

What are some great dipping sauces that pair well with cooked chicken?

I love having bbq sauce or even a sweet chili sauce handy for an easy and quick snack. You can use whatever perfect combination that you want to complete this scrumptious recipe.
