When I truly want to “air fry,” my air fryer will still be my “go-to” appliance.īut for the first run, the Ninja Foodi didn’t let me down. While I really love all of the features of the Ninja Foodi, the Cook & Crisp basket for the Foodi is not as large as my air fryer basket. I suppose you want to know if I got rid of my air fryer. I felt like the results of my Ninja Foodi Roast Chicken were pretty similar to my Air Fryer Roast Chicken. It was golden brown and crispy on the outside, but how did the inside look? Just make sure the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165º Fahrenheit. Depending on the size of the chicken, it may not need to go the full 20 minutes. Make sure to check the temperature of the chicken a few times while it’s in Air Crisp mode. I closed the air fryer lid – AKA crisping lid (the crisping lid is permanently attached to the Ninja Foodi) and set it on AIR CRISP for 20 more minutes. I just thought it may look nicer for photos once the chicken was done. I also ended up tying up the legs at this point with some twine. I removed the pressure lid and brushed the chicken with butter and sprinkled a little more seasoning on. All of the pressure had already released. For my first time using the machine, I didn’t want to ruin my beautiful chicken so I did a “natural” release.Īfter the natural release, I did a quick release but it wasn’t needed. I’ve read quite a few comments from users of the Ninja Foodi that said they never use quick release with meat because it toughens it.Īfter more experimentation, I’ll find out if that’s true or not. You just let it sit to release naturally.Ī quick release is when you would switch the pressure release valve from SEAL to VENT manually. WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A NATURAL & QUICK RELEASE?Ī natural release means you don’t move the pressure release valve at all. Once you have the pressure lid on, you’ll want to ensure that the pressure release valve is in the SEAL position.Īfter 21 minutes, I just did a “natural release” for about 15 minutes. You want to pressure cook the chicken for 21 minutes. Then I seasoned the chicken with my favorite poultry seasoning, which is this homemade dry rub, and placed it in what’s called the Cook & Crisp basket (or air fryer basket). If you’d like, you could add some chicken broth in place of the water. I added 3/4 cup hot water and some cloves of garlic. The first step to your flavorful golden bird is adding some liquid to the pot. STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS FOR PREPARING NINJA FOODI ROAST CHICKEN Unlike an Instant Pot that just “pressure cooks” a chicken, the Ninja Foodi pressure cooks it AND crisps it up. It’s my first recipe in the Ninja Foodi and it turned out great – even better then my local grocery store’s rotisserie chicken. Today I’m sharing a recipe for Ninja Foodi Roast Chicken. If you’re also a new Ninja Foodi owner, I invite you to join my new Facebook group called Ninja Foodi Easy Recipes, where we all can gather, share new recipes and talk about our Ninja Foodis and Air Fryers. I ordered one up right away and hoped that I wouldn’t receive an out-of-stock email right after I placed my order. Right before the New Year my friend actually found some in stock at Walmart and sent me the link. I went to Target and tried to buy the floor model, but the associate told me it was just the shell and there was no cooking unit actually in it? Every store out there is sold out of these babies. I did a ton of research on this thing before I purchased the Ninja Foodi- and purchasing it – was a challenge in itself. The Ninja Foodi can be used for all air fryer and Instant Pot recipes as well, so technically, if I really want to go down the Instant Pot recipe road, I’m able to with the Ninja Foodi. I never bought an Instant Pot because an Instant Pot can’t crisp up food – it reminded me too much of just a slow cooker (but it was a faster cooker?). Well, it’s a slow cooker, pressure cooker, steamer, air fryer, dehydrator (some models) and can bake, roast and broil too. So, I’m pretty excited about today’s post because I get to show you all my newest cooking appliance – the Ninja Foodi! I first heard about the Ninja Foodi in one of my recipe groups.Įveryone was going crazy over this thing and promised that it will replace almost every other “cooking” appliance you own. Ninja Foodi Roast Chicken – Deliciously moist chicken that’s flavorful and crispy on the outside! So easy to make in your Ninja Foodi in no time at all!
