Why use a skillet when it’s possible for you to make crispy air-fryer bacon?
Using your air fryer is a clean and splatter-free way to cook bacon for a small group.
Pouring out the drippings between batches is key to prevent smoking.

Working in batches if necessary, carefully arrange bacon pieces in a single layer in the fryer basket.
Cook for 4 minutes.
Flip and cook until crispy, 3 to 4 minutes.
Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain.
Pour out the excess bacon drippings from the bottom of the basket.
Repeat the procedure with any remaining bacon pieces.
