Air Fryer Bacon Wrapped Chicken Tenders 



I am so happy with my Air Fryer and I end up using it several times per week, that’s why I am sharing my recipe for Air Fryer Bacon Wrapped Chicken Tenderloins.


My husband asks for this recipe at least twice a week!


Now, you can totally make these Low Carb and Keto by replacing the brown sugar for keto brown sugar, then these will certainly be a low carb delight. I have had them the keto ways dozens of times and you can’t tell they are low carb. This Keto Brown Sugar makes it taste so sweet.


But today is not that day. Today we eat!


Cooking these Air Fryer Bacon Wrapped Chicken Tenderloins, in the Air Fryer, is so easy and faster than the regular oven.


With the warmer temperatures outside, the house gets pretty hot when I use my antique stove, but with the Air Fryer, the home stays fairly cool.

And I love that the fat and oils drain through to the bottom, when cooking in the Air Fryer. Much healthier food overall.
