We have been making bacon wrapped little smokies for almost 20 years and they never get old! However, I had just bought a brand new air fryer and I couldn’t wait to make something.
I had the genius plan to make the smokies in the air fryer instead of the oven. Granted, we love them in the oven, but they take 45 minutes to 1 hour. In the air fryer, we are talking 10 minutes cook time here! WOW!

🥓 Ingredients

🍴 Directions
1. Cut the pieces of bacon in thirds.
2. Place bacon in bowl of brown sugar. press the sugar so it sticks to the bacon.
3. Wrap little smokie with piece of bacon and add toothpick.
4. Put bacon wrapped smokies in the air fryer so they aren’t touching. Cook at 400 degrees for 10 minutes or until bacon reaches desired doneness.
NOTE: As you can see in my air fryer basket, I could have added a few more in. Because it was the first time using it, I wanted to ensure that they weren’t too crowded. You will probably need to work in batches depending on how big your machine is.
