Method
Preheat your air fryer to 200°C.
Add the chicken pieces to a bowl.
Toss with the olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Cut the bacon rashers in half.
Wrap each chicken piece with bacon and secure with a cocktail stick if needed.
Place the wrapped chicken bites into the air fryer basket in a single layer.
Air fry for 12–15 minutes, turning halfway through.
While they cook, mix together the BBQ sauce, honey, and Worcestershire sauce.
During the final 3–4 minutes, brush the bites generously with the glaze.
Return to the fryer until the bacon is crisp, the chicken is cooked through, and the glaze becomes dark and sticky.
Remove carefully and allow to rest for 1 minute.
Serve immediately with dips and cold drinks.
