If you prefer, you can make this chicken recipe on the grill or in your air fryer. We love using our air fryer. My kids can even make this recipe using the air fryer.

• Air Fryer – If you decide to use your air fryer instead of baking it, then you would follow the same process of wrapping your chicken with bacon and seasoning your chicken. Pre-heat your air fryer to 400 degrees. Air fry your chicken for 10-15 minutes. Use your meat thermometer to check the temperature.
• Grilling your chicken – We love this recipe on the grill. Follow the recipes as it indicates. Grill your chicken for about 20minutes, flipping each side. Make sure to use your meat thermometer to ensure your chicken is done.

Should you wrap chicken in foil when baking?

When we are cooking chicken, we always cook our chicken uncover. We like the skin of the chicken to get crispy and it also turns a golden brown.

If you find that your chicken is getting to burnt looking but still is not finished cooking, you can lay a piece of foil over the top while it finishes cooking.

How long does it take to cook Bacon Wrapped Chicken?

When preparing your chicken, you want to make sure that the chicken breast are even in size. This ensure that all the chicken is fully cooked at the same time. I cook the chicken for about 30 minutes. It will depend on how thick cut your chicken is.

I like to turn the oven on broil the last few minutes to get the bacon crispy, but this up to your family’s preference.

How to know when Chicken is done:

To make sure that your chicken is done, it is best to use a digital meat thermometer. I make sure that the meat instant read thermometer reads 165 degrees before removing from the oven.

I prefer this method over slicing the chicken. I like to let the chicken rest before serving as this locks in all the juicy flavors.

Tips for the best Bacon Wrapped Chicken:

• Wrapping Chicken – The key to getting that juicy chicken is wrapping it in bacon. It locks in the juices and flavoring for that yummy brown sugar flavor that taste so good.
• Marinate the Chicken – You can add your seasoning and chicken to a ziplock bag in the morning and bake the chicken when you get home.
• Brining the chicken – Brining the chicken helps also to lock in the chicken. If baked to long, chicken can turn very dry. Make sure to use your meat thermometer to check your chicken.
