Equipment
- Philips Air Fryer
- Cocktail Sticks/Toothpicks
- Silicone Cake Pan
Ingredients
- 4 Medium Chicken Breasts
- 8 Rashers Back Bacon
- 50 g Grated Cheddar Cheese
- 50 g Grated Mozzarella Cheese
Barbecue Sauce
- 240 ml /1 Cup Barbecue Sauce
- 4 Tbsp Honey
- 1 Tsp Frozen Chopped Garlic
- 2 Tsp Sweet Paprika
Instructions
- Using a chopping board as your workstation wrap 2 back rashers around each chicken breast until well covered and then secure with a toothpick/cocktail stick.
- Place the chicken wrapped in bacon into the air fryer and air fry for 28 minutes at 180c/360f or until the chicken is perfectly cooked.
- Whilst the chicken is cooking, mix together in a small bowl the barbecue sauce ingredients with a spoon. Then add a layer of the barbecue sauce to the bottom of a silicone baking pan that fits your air fryer.
- When the air fryer beeps, remove the chicken from the air fryer and remove the cocktail sticks that have held the chicken in place.
- Place the chicken into the barbecue sauce and then sprinkle the grated cheese over the chicken.
- Air fry the hunters chicken for a final 5 minutes at 180c/360f to melt the cheese and warm up the barbecue sauce. Then serve.
Notes
Bacon. We recommend a bacon that takes longer to get crispy such as back bacon. Because you don’t want the bacon to be overcooked whilst you wait for the chicken it’s the best option.
