Coat the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Arrange the bacon-wrapped scallops in a single layer in the basket; cook in 2 batches if needed.

Air fry in the preheated air fryer for 7 minutes. Check for doneness; the scallops should be opaque and the bacon crispy. If needed, cook 1 to 2 minutes more, checking every minute. Carefully remove the scallops with tongs and set them on a paper towel-lined plate to blot excess bacon fat. Serve with the Sriracha mayo.
