Tips
After washing, dry the chicken strips with kitchen tissue paper.
Coat the chicken with your preferred herbs and seasonings of your choice.
Fold the bacon and chicken strips with the help of toothpicks.
Ensure that the Chicken strips are longer than the bacon strips so they fold together easily.
You can switch the ingredients to your choice.
Don’t overcook the bacon and chicken.
After baking or airfrying, check the chicken by inserting a knife.
Make sure to take out toothpicks before eating.
