#Chicken quarters in ninja foodi mac#
There’s something about mac and cheese that just goes so well with anything BBQ. But since we’ve got a BBQ thing going on with the seasonings and method of this recipe, I highly recommend our Best Damn Instant Pot Mac and Cheese. So, chicken drumsticks really serve well with just about anything. Plus, they’ll be really hot! A nice 5-10 minute rest before serving will make the chicken all that much better. This lets all the juices redistribute and gives everything a chance to settle down. Remove the chicken to a plate or platter and just leave them be.
But what we really want is for the chicken to rest for at least 5 minutes before serving. Well ok, you actually do get to rest for few minutes if you want. Chicken legs are a dark meat and the extended time and temp can make them even more tender and juicy. For chicken legs, we’re safe to go a little higher, 180☏ – 200☏ for the internal temperature is actually ideal. The very minimum we want for any chicken recipe is 165☏. When the 22 minutes are up, lift the lid and take a look at these beauties! Use an instant read food thermometer and check the temperature at the thickest part of one of the chicken legs. This will help keep the cooking nice and even throughout. Remember, we’re using the medium grill setting (which is 450☏) for 22 minutes.Īt the halfway point (11 minutes), open the lid and give each drumstick a flip. Now close the lid and the countdown timer will begin.
You don’t want them all pressed together so if you’re able, give them just a little room between each piece. Lift the lid and place all the chicken drumsticks on the grill. Now that our chicken is all seasoned, as soon as the ninja is preheated and says “add food”, it’s time for the magic to begin. Press it around a little, shake some more. Get that seasoning mix coated on all the pieces of chicken. Now, open the bag, add the seasoning rub, close the bag and shake, shake, shake! Yes, you can shake your booty while doing this too. Add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil, close the top, and shake and press the oil into all the chicken. Now add the chicken to a large, gallon-sized zip-top bag.
#Chicken quarters in ninja foodi skin#
You don’t have to go too crazy here, we just get want to get that skin as dry as possible so that it crisps up better.
Start by patting those chicken drumsticks dry with a paper towel. With the lid closed, the unit will begin preheating. Set the time to 22 minutes and push start. With the grill plate in place simply turn the appliance on and press the medium grill setting. Our prep will take place while the grill is preheating. I think it’s safe to say we all love recipe which are easy prep, right? So let’s keep this one easy too.
Mix all those dry ingredients together, and you’ve got a spectacular rub that’s ready to go on the chicken legs! You probably have all of these ingredients already in your spice-rack or pantry: brown sugar, smoked paprika, chili powder, onion powder, garlic powder, ground mustard, salt, pepper, and a little vegetable oil. Unbelievable! Next, we make our special BBQ seasoning rub. I actually got a package of 15 for under $5.00 at a store near me in the Chicago area. I love that chicken drumsticks are so affordable. We start with 8 fresh, bone-in chicken drumsticks. Love it! There’s a couple of different models of the appliance, but they all work perfect for this recipe. Much like a regular air fryer, is uses circulating air to quickly heat the food, but, it also has a heat conducive grill plate on the bottom which allows us to get that the direct-contact heat for an excellent sear and of course – grill marks! And also… no smoke! There’s a nifty little contraption built in which takes care of any smoke. While it has all the functions of a regular air fryer, the indoor grill part is what I’m most impressed with. They’re that good! What is the Ninja Foodi Grill?įor those not familiar, the Ninja Foodi Grill is an electric kitchen appliance which is an indoor grill/air fryer. And with this easy chicken drumsticks recipe, you’ll rave about it too! We take 8 chicken legs, skin-on of course, and make a simple seasoning rub which then takes the chicken drumsticks to all new levels of awesome in our indoor grill! Can you tell I’m a little excited about this recipe? The “wow factor” while developing this recipe was off the charts. Your Ninja Foodi Grill is such a versatile appliance. Perfect for a quick meal or a game time feast! With a simple seasoning mix, they come out crispy on the outside and oh so juicy on the inside. These mouthwatering chicken drumsticks cook to absolute perfection in your Ninja Foodi Grill.
