Actifry Hunters Style Chicken BBQ Recipe

This hunters ‘style’ chicken recipe has been adapted from the classic pub dinner to be cooked quickly without fuss.

It has all the elements of a hunters chicken dinner: chicken, bacon, cheese and lashings of sticky BBQ sauce. In fact – all the cheese and sauce made this one difficult to photograph haha.

Instead of using straight BBQ sauce I’ve made a BBQ tomato sauce – to me, it’s a lighter dish (both in calories and taste) which feel the perfect balance of sweet and savoury. You can adjust the sauce to match your families taste this way too!

Instead of wrapping the chicken in bacon i’ve kept it simple and incorporated the bacon into the sauce. Cutting the chicken into pieces means it’ll cook quicker and have more BBQ flavour on it – plus the bacon will be guaranteed to be cooked how you do that bit first.
