I love air fryer hunters chicken. Delicious chicken wrapped in crispy bacon, loaded with melted cheese, and smothered in barbecue sauce.

Equipment

Air Fryer
Cocktail Sticks/Toothpicks
Silicone Cake Pan

Ingredients

4 Medium Chicken Breasts
8 Rashers Back Bacon
55 g /2oz Grated Cheddar Cheese
55 g /2oz Grated Mozzarella Cheese

Barbecue Sauce

250 g /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.
