Equipment

Air Fryer
Cutting Board

Ingredients

2 slices pickles (dill or bread and butter, depending on your preference)
2 chicken tenders
2 cheese sticks (such as mozzarella or cheddar)
2 slices bacon (thin-cut works best)
1 squirt Your favorite dipping sauce BBQ sauce, Chick-fil-A sauce, mustard, ketchup

Instructions

Put all Ingredients on a cutting board.
Lay a strip of Bacon on a cutting board away from your body. At one end, make a stack of Cheese Chicken and Pickles. Next, Roll the Cheese Chicken Pickle with the Bacon until it is wrapped. The wrap should be semi-tight.
Place two assembled bacon-wrapped cheese chicken pickles in the air fryer basket. Set the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 20 minutes. Note: no need to preheat the air fryer. Remember to wash your hands with soap after handling raw meat.
Check the internal temperature of the chicken using a meat thermometer. The chicken should reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Once the bacon-wrapped cheese chicken pickles have finished cooking, transfer them to a serving plate and sauce them with two or three of your favorite dipping sauces. BBQ sauce, Chick-fil-A sauce, mustard, and ketchup are all popular choices, but feel free to experiment with other options as well.
While the air fryer basket is still hot, clean it using our “no wet hands” method, which only takes 30 seconds. This method is perfect for those who don’t want the hassle of hand-washing dishes.
