Trim any excess fat from the boneless chicken thighs. Cut each chicken thigh into approximately 6 bite-sized pieces.

Place the cut chicken pieces into a medium-sized bowl. Add the Lane's Legendary Chicken Rub and mix thoroughly by hand, ensuring all chicken pieces are well coated. Set the seasoned chicken aside.

Prepare the bacon by cutting each strip in half crosswise. This will create shorter pieces suitable for wrapping the bites.

Assemble the bites: Take one piece of seasoned chicken and place a slice of jalapeño on top. Wrap a half strip of bacon around the chicken and jalapeño, securing it tightly. Repeat this process for all chicken pieces.

Once assembled, lightly sprinkle each bacon-wrapped bite with your favorite BBQ rub.

Preheat your air fryer to 400°F. Arrange the prepared bites in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring not to overcrowd them. You may need to cook in batches.

Air fry for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, carefully flip each bite to ensure even cooking and crisping of the bacon.

Continue to air fry for an additional 5 to 10 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the chicken is cooked through to an internal temperature of 165°F. Serve immediately.
