Instructions
 

  • Slice bacon in half and place the bacon in the air fryer to partially cook at 400 for 3 minutes. 
    16 large sea scallops
  • Pat the scallops dry with paper towels to remove any moisture.
  • Wrap each scallop in 1/2 slice of bacon and secure it with a toothpick.
    8 slices center cut bacon
  • Place scallops in air fryer (I can fit 8 at a time in my basket style air fryer)
  • Lightly brush scallop with your favorite barbecue sauce. I recommend a thinner sauce – not a heavy thick sauce. You can also just spray with olive oil and salt/pepper.
  • Cook at 400 for 5 minutes. Turn scallops delicately and baste again with bbq sauce. Cook for another 5 minutes at 400 until scallop is tender and opaque and bacon is cooked through. Serve hot.
    1/4 cup Williamson Bros. BBQ sauce
  • I also sprinkled a little Historic BBQ Red seasoning on them when they were done.
