Air Fryer Honey Garlic Salmon Bites

Air fryer honey garlic salmon bites garnished with herbs

Air fryer honey garlic salmon bites have a sweet soy glaze and lightly browned edges around a tender center. Even-size pieces cook quickly, making them useful for rice bowls, salads, or a simple dinner with vegetables. Check doneness in the thickest piece rather than relying only on the clock.

Buffalo Chicken Bacon Mozzarella Bombs

Delicious Buffalo Chicken Bacon Mozzarella Bombs ready to be served

These buffalo chicken bacon mozzarella bombs are breaded ground-chicken balls with mozzarella and cooked bacon tucked inside. Buffalo sauce seasons the meat, and a flour, egg and breadcrumb coating surrounds the filling before frying. A thermometer is essential for this recipe: a golden crust and melted cheese do not show whether the chicken layer is cooked through. Make twelve evenly sized pieces and fry in uncrowded batches for the clearest control.
