Ingredients
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 1 packet dry ranch seasoning
  • kosher salt, pepper
  • 8 to 10 slices bacon
  • BBQ seasoning blend
  • Optional: ranch dressing and/or BBQ sauce for dipping
Instructions
  1. Cut each chicken thigh into 4 to 5 pieces (about 2 inch pieces). Season the chicken with the dry ranch seasoning, kosher salt, and pepper.

  2. Cut the bacon slices in half and wrap each half slice of bacon around each seasoned chicken bite, overlapping slightly.

  3. Put the chicken bites in the air fryer basket, bacon seam side down, and sprinkle some BBQ seasoning over top. Set the air fryer to 380 degrees for 16 to 20 minutes, or until the bacon is cooked how you like.

    Note: Bacon will be crisp on the top but not as crisp on the bottom.

  4. Serve the chicken with ranch dressing and/or BBQ sauce for dipping if desired.
