This whole process should take 30 minutes including time to prep and preheat your machine. If you want them really crisp spray oil on them for the last 2 minutes.
Flip chicken pieces halfway through your cook cycle. Once all pieces are in basket and aren’t overlapping (we did 2 batches so they didn’t) close lid and select air crisp for 12 minutes if there’s no bacon, or 14 minutes if you wrapped with bacon. Place chicken wrapped pieces into air fryer basket with toothpick sides down. Insert at an angle so they are somewhat flat so when you put them into the basket they lay relatively flat. Use 2 toothpicks to secure ends of bacon pieces on to chicken.
Place your coated chicken tender in the middle. When wrapping with bacon, cut 8 slices of bacon in half and lay 2 of your half pieces down next to one another horizontally. If not adding bacon, place these coated pieces into your air fryer basket. Flip over so whole piece of chicken is covered in wet bread crumb mixture. Dip each tender into the egg on both sides letting excess egg drip off before putting it into the bread crumb bowl.
Preheat your air fryer to 350 for 10 minutes while you’re preparing your chicken. In another bowl combine bread crumbs with your olive oil. First you will whip your egg in a bowl.This model has the air crisp function as well so if that is your model, go for it.
Homemade is always way better though right?
