For best results, ensure the butter log is thoroughly chilled before stuffing the chicken thighs. This will prevent the butter from melting too quickly during cooking. Don't overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook the chicken thighs in batches if necessary to ensure even browning and crisping of the bacon. Feel free to experiment with different herbs and spices in the butter mixture to customize the flavor profile to your liking. Rosemary, oregano, or paprika would be delicious additions.
