0:02
I hadn't thought about these in a long time.
0:06
It is one of the best appetizers
0:08
you will ever put in your mouth.
0:10
And when I would go to Shop HQ
0:13
and I was demoing the air fryer,
0:15
this was a standard recipe that we always did
0:19
because it's so, so good.
0:23
Now, I've used two chicken breasts
0:27
and you wanna make sure
0:29
that you cut them all at the same size
0:33
so they'll all get done at the same time
0:35
because the recipe originally called up,
0:38
put them in a preheated 350 degree regular oven.
0:43
But these cooks so good in the air fryer so fast.
0:47
That's the way I'm gonna do these today.
0:50
So we've got our two chicken breasts
0:52
that I've cut into like almost one inch cubes,
0:57
maybe a little bigger.
0:58
And I've got my bacon here
1:02
and I'm gonna cut my bacon into thirds
1:09
and we're gonna wrap.
1:12
We're gonna wrap our chicken breast
1:25
ooh, this big old bacon.
1:28
And then we're gonna hold it together
1:43
The middle one almost cut a little short.
1:49
I'll just stretch it out.
1:51
- Yeah- - Just like that.
1:52
- [Crew Member] Treat the, all the stage help.
1:56
- Yes. - They came running
1:57
after the segment was done. - That's right.
2:01
They all came a'running.
2:03
All right, I got all of our cubes
2:05
of chicken wrapped with the bacon
2:09
and now I've got brown sugar and I've got chili powder.
2:15
And that chili powder's gonna give it a little,
2:19
Not a whole bunch, but a little bit of heat.
2:24
All right, now we're gonna take each one of these
2:29
and roll 'em in our mixture
2:33
and I'm gonna put 'em right in the air fryer.
2:36
Now we're using an a real thick, thick bacon.
2:42
I highly, highly recommend though,
2:45
that you do this using regular sliced bacon.
2:51
'Cause the regular sliced bacon will adhere
2:53
to whatever you're wrapping,
2:55
plus it'll get done and get crisp for you.
2:59
All right, I've got our sweet chicken bacon wraps in here
3:06
and I'm gonna have to do probably two batches.
3:12
And to be completely honest, I can't remember how
3:15
long we used to cook 'em in the air fryer
3:17
but 'cause like I said,
3:19
this recipe calls for a regular oven.
3:24
So I just pulled out my air fryer cookbook to see
3:28
if the recipe was identical and it's not.
3:32
This one calls for chili powder and the one
3:37
in my air fryer cookbook calls for cayenne pepper
3:44
And it says, let's see, working in batches of 10
3:47
spray each cube with all in place
3:49
in a fryer basket in a single layer.
3:52
Set temperature to 400 and air fry for 10 minutes.
3:57
But that would be using, you know,
4:00
normally regular sliced bacon, so.
4:05
Let's see, we've got four minutes
4:08
so I'm gonna put it on 10 minutes and it's at 400 degrees.
4:16
So, you know, one of the things I love about my air fryer,
4:20
I have been known to put things
4:22
in my regular oven and forget about it.
4:26
But this, it won't let you forget about it
4:29
because when the time is up, it turns off.
4:32
So I don't have to worry about burning anything,
4:34
which is a great feature.
4:36
So my second batch, I added a little bit
4:44
of cayenne and black pepper in this one,
4:48
and I'll try to keep 'em separated
4:52
'cause people that like a little bite like Michael Groover,
4:56
I'll have to keep that separate so he'll know which is hot
5:01
Y'all, I could not waste my time waiting for this batch.
5:05
So I have two air fryers in my kitchen,
5:08
one in the baking center and one over here on the counter.
5:13
And more often than not,
5:15
I've got both of them going at the same time.
5:18
That's how much I love my air fryers.
5:23
So I put, these are the spicy ones, you know,
5:26
'cause this batch I added a little cayenne pepper too.
5:30
And so I'm gonna put these
5:31
in different plates so I'll remember not to offer any
5:37
of the children that batch.
5:42
But look how good they do look.
5:46
And I cooked these for maybe 11 minutes and those
5:53
in the other air fryer they got done in like 10 minutes.
5:57
Just like the recipe calls for.
6:06
And you can, if you're having people
6:08
over for cocktails or an appetizer
6:14
and a cocktail or whatever, you can, who is that?
6:19
- [Crew Member] Oh that was Hugh.
6:21
I was gonna say your voice has changed.
6:24
Sounded like a man's, but, so anyway.
6:29
Regular and a little heat.
6:33
And so if you're having company you can make these all ahead
6:39
of time, you know, a couple hours ahead of time.
6:42
And then right before company comes, just throw 'em back
6:45
in the air fryer and heat 'em up and you're good to go.
6:48
So if you're go planning on reheating them,
6:52
maybe wanna cook 'em nine minutes either in the oven
6:56
or the air fryer so they won't be so like overdone.
7:06
Theresa, have you, have you ever had these?
7:09
So, don't you see me over here?
7:11
I got up from where I was standing.
7:14
So I just wanted to show y'all my air fryer cookbook.
7:17
If you do have an air fryer and would like some new ideas
7:22
I just wanted to show it to you.
7:25
These are the sweet- - I want sweet.
7:31
Oh yeah, those are the hot.
7:32
- I'm sorry. - Oh, look at her.
7:35
- See I've already got 'em mixed up.
7:38
Alright, now who would I like to play a trick on?
7:48
Even with the chili powder.
7:50
The chili powder offers a little bit of heat but not much.
7:55
' Cause this girl's mouth is a sissy.
7:59
- Awfully good. - Mm-hmm.
8:02
- It's a perfect appetizer using protein.
