Ingredients

  • Spray oil
  • 2 chicken breasts or 4 chicken thighs
  • 4 rashers of smoked streaky bacon
  • 40 g grated cheddar
  • 50 ml BBQ sauce
  • Salt and pepper

Instructions

  • Prepare your chicken breasts (or thighs) by removing any excess skin or fat.
  • Spray with a little spray oil.
  • Season well with salt and pepper.
  • Cook in the air fryer at 200C (390F approx) for 10 minutes.
  • Then wrap each of the chicken breasts (or thighs) with the streaky bacon. Use two pieces per breasts or one piece per chicken thigh. I like to tuck the ends of the rashers underneath the chicken and then place it back into the air fryer basket.
  • Cook again in the air fryer at 200C (390F approx) for 6 minutes.
  • Spread the BBQ sauce over the top and then add the grated cheese. I press this down a little to help it stay together on top of the chicken.
  • Cook for a further 4-5 minutes in the air fryer at 200C (390F approx).
  • Check that the chicken is cooked to a safe internal cooking temperature of at least 75C (165F approx).
  • Serve with your choice of air fryer sides and enjoy!
