Air Fryer Hunter's Chicken

Use your air fryer to make classic hunter's chicken for dinner, with barbecue sauce, bacon and cheese. Serve with some simple green veggies and potato wedges for the perfect, mid-week meal for the whole family.

Method

Based on 2 servings, adjust as needed.

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 220°c and cook the wedges according to the packet instructions. You can also air fry them if you have a big enough air fryer.

Step 2

Heat the air fryer to 190°C. Wrap the chicken breasts in the bacon rashers widthways. Or, if the chicken breasts are very thick, cook in the air fryer for 10 mins first, then cook the bacon-wrapped chicken for 15 mins. Add in the wedges at this point if you have 2 air-fryer baskets.

Step 3

Brush with barbecue sauce all over and scatter over the cheese (you may not need all of it). Cook in the air fryer for another 10 mins until the chicken is cooked through. Serve with the potato wedges on the side and some air-fried or steamed broccoli, if you like.
