Equipment
- 1 Air Fryer
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken tenderloins
- 12 strips bacon cooked
- 4 tablespoons garlic powder
- 1 ounce ranch seasoning mix
Instructions
- Preheat air fryer to 400 degrees F. If your air fryer doesn't have a preheat setting, you can place chicken in immediately. You may need to add an extra minute or two of cooking at the end.
- Line your air fryer basket with tin foil. Toss your chicken tenderloins in the ranch seasoning mix and garlic powder to coat evenly.
- Place the chicken tenders on the tin foil. Be careful not to over crowd. Cook the chicken tenderloins for 10 minutes.
- Remove the chicken tenders at the 10 minute mark and wrap each tenderloin in cooked bacon. We used one slice per chicken tenderloin, but you could use more if you wanted. Place each bacon wrapped tenderloin back into the basket.
- Continue cooking the chicken tenderloins for another 5-10 minutes until chicken reads 165 degrees on a meat thermometer.
- Remove finished chicken from air fryer and serve.
