Method
Step 1
Rinse the baby potatoes and pat them dry. Cut them into halves or quarters for quicker cooking.
Step 2
Coat the potato pieces in Frylight cooking spray, then sprinkle with paprika, salt, and pepper for flavour. Place them in the air fryer basket and cook at 200°C for 5 minutes until they’re crispy on the outside.
Step 3
While the potatoes are cooking, prepare the bacon-wrapped chicken. Wrap each chicken breast with bacon slices and place them in the air fryer basket with the partially cooked potatoes. Cook for an additional 15 minutes at 200°C until the chicken is cooked through and the bacon is crispy.
Step 4
Once the chicken and potatoes are cooked, remove them from the air fryer. Brush the chicken breasts with BBQ sauce and sprinkle grated cheese over them. Add a dash of Worcestershire sauce for extra flavour. Return the chicken and potatoes to the air fryer and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Step 5
Once everything is cooked, plate up the air fryer hunters chicken and crispy potatoes. Serve hot and enjoy this satisfying and hassle-free meal! For more healthy low calorie air fryer recipes take a look at The Healthy Air Fryer Book.
