Let me start by saying, my air fryer is amazing! Why didn’t anyone tell me how good they were? I wouldn’t have waited so long to get one. Since getting THIS ONE at Christmas, I’ve been using it daily and sometimes a few times a day.
Why I love it so much!
- It cooks so fast!
- No need for oil (healthy cooking)
- Easy to wash and use
- Even cooking
- No need to preheat
- CRISPY food
One of my favourite recipes to cook in the air fryer are these chicken and bacon meatballs. These meatballs can be served on skewers (I bought some half-sized skewers from the supermarket) with pasta, rice, salad or pop them in the school lunch box.
Makes around 12-15 meatballs depending on the size.
Ingredients
- 500 grams chicken, minced
- 140 grams bacon, finely chopped
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 3 tablespoons BBQ sauce
- 2 tablespoons crushed garlic
- 2 tablespoons mustard
- salt and pepper to taste
Air Fryer Directions
- Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and mix.
- Roll mixture into bite-sized balls and place onto air fryer basket.
- Cook on 180ºC for around 6 minutes, shake halfway.
Oven Directions
- Preheat oven to 180ºC and line a baking tray with non-stick paper.
- Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and mix.
- Roll mixture into bite-sized balls and place onto the oven tray.
- Bake for around 20-25 minutes or until cooked through.
Any suggestions for a kid friendly dipping sauce for the Chicken and Bacon meatballs?
