1. Using a Prestige air fryer can be a good option when making the chicken bombs. What usually takes 2 to 4 hours in an oven can be done in 20-30 minutes with an air fryer.
2. You can use the Prestige Multi Chef All-In-One Air Fryer for this. The digital display offers cooking ease with a customisable time and temperature control function.
3. You can also use the Prestige PAF 6.0 Electric Air Fryer. The uniquely constructed big capacity frying basket with a nonstick covering allows hot air circulation for even cooking.
4. To chop the chicken breasts into thin slices before making the chicken bombs, you can use the Prestige Knife set that comes with 3 knives and a chopping board. It has a single-piece stainless-steel blade with riveted handles.
5. You can also use a Prestige Food Processor to crumble the bacon, which you need to add to the cream cheese mixture.
Not in a messy way! Bombs are named for their savoury layers, including jalapeños, cheese, bacon, and chicken. When cooked in the air fryer, the bacon tightens and seals the filling inside, creating drama on the palate rather than in the kitchen.
Absolutely. You can prepare, roll, and wrap them the day before and store them in the refrigerator. The air fryer cooks quickly and intensely, so even chilly chicken bombs crisp up wonderfully without becoming soggy or overcooked. Simply add 1-2 more minutes to the cooking time.
Crispness is dependent on spacing. If the bombs collide, the bacon steams instead of crisping. Keep a little space between each piece. You can alternatively give the tops a brief spritz of oil; enough to blister the bacon without adding excessive grease.
Yes, this dish is a spice playground. For mellow bombs, use deseeded jalapeños or sweet peppers. For hotter bombs, try a dab of hot sauce or spicier chillies such as serranos. The cream cheese perfectly balances the spice, so that the flavour is rich but not overbearing.
Chicken bombs enjoy contrast. Consider light, crunchy, or fresh sides like a crisp salad, garlic-butter greens, roasted vegetables, or lemony noodles.
