Air Fryer Hunter’s Chicken: juicy chicken wrapped in bacon, topped with BBQ sauce and melted cheese. A 20-minute pub classic made easy!

  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 4 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 600g chicken breasts
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 4 slices back bacon or turkey bacon
  • 2 tsp tomato puree
  • 2 tbsp low-calorie/sugar-free barbeque sauce
  • 120 g reduced-fat mozzarella cheese

Instructions

Season those chicken breasts with smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Don't skimp – the chicken deserves a little razzle-dazzle.

Wrap each breast in bacon. It’s like a cosy meat hug. Place them gently into your air fryer.

Cook at 180°C for 12 minutes. No need to flip – the air fryer’s got your back!

Add a tomato paste base layer, then brush on that barbecue sauce like you’re an artist and this chicken is your canvas.

Sprinkle on mozzarella cheese. Pop it back in the air fryer for 3-4 minutes until the cheese melts into a golden, gooey crown.

Serve and prepare for applause. Seriously, your family or housemates might actually cheer.
