Making Air Fryer Bacon Wrapped Chicken Bites
It was a sunny afternoon, perfect for celebrating Aunt Jackie’s upcoming arrival. In the kitchen, a heartwarming scene unfolded. Sarah, the glowing mom-to-be, and her adorable daughter Emily were preparing a special treat for the baby shower – Air Fryer Bacon Wrapped Chicken Bites. The laughter and love filling the room were just as essential ingredients as the chicken and bacon themselves.
The Recipe: A Bite-Sized Delight
These Air Fryer Bacon Wrapped Chicken Bites are not just any appetizers; they are a blend of sweet, savory, and smoky flavors, perfectly wrapped in love and bacon! Here’s how Sarah and Emily made these delightful bites:
Ingredients: Needed
- 1 ½ lbs chicken breast (about 2)
- 8 slices bacon
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
Directions:
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Set it to 400 degrees, just like Sarah did, while Emily excitedly gathered the ingredients.
- Prepare the Chicken: Cut the chicken into 16 bite-sized pieces. Emily loved this part, giggling as she and her mom worked side by side.
- Wrap with Bacon: Cut the bacon in half and wrap each chicken piece. Secure with a toothpick. It’s a bit messy, but oh, so fun!
- Coating Time: Mix brown sugar and paprika in a bowl. Toss the chicken pieces in this sweet and spicy mix, ensuring they are well-coated.
- Air Fry: Cook the bites for 14-15 minutes, tossing the basket twice during cooking. Sarah and Emily used this time to decorate the dining area.
- Serve Warm: These bites are best served warm, with a variety of dipping sauces for everyone’s taste!
The Baby Shower: A Day to Remember
As the guests arrived, they were greeted with the aroma of these succulent bites. Everyone was eager to try them, and the platter was soon the center of attention. Aunt Jackie, with her baby bump proudly on display, was the first to indulge. Her smile upon tasting them was worth all the effort.
Sarah and Emily, standing side by side, watched as their family and friends enjoyed their creation. It wasn’t just about the food; it was about the love and excitement shared by everyone in the room, celebrating new life and new beginnings.
