How to roast a whole chicken in the Ninja Foodi
PREPARATION TIME
Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 55 minutes
Ingredients
1 whole chicken Mine was 1.5kg but whatever size you get just make sure it will fit into your Ninja Foodi
15 ml olive oil
4 cloves of garlic
1 teaspoon each of sage thyme, paprika
1/2 teaspoon of salt and pepper
Instructions
Mince your garlic cloves lightly using a knife.
Mix together the sage, thyme, paprika, minced garlic, salt and pepper with the oil.
Use 2/3 of this oil mix to dress the chicken all over.
Reserve 1/3 of the oil mix to use later on in the cooking process.
If you’ve got an *air fryer sling then use it for this recipe for convenience. The sling has to be one of my favourite Ninja Foodi accessories and I use it at least weekly.
Place your chicken in the air fryer basket. I like to go for breast side down.
Use the roast mode to cook at 180C (355F approx) for 35-40 minutes.
Turn the chicken over, baste it with the remaining oil mix and then leave it turned over.
Pop this back in, breast side up, and use the air fryer mode at 180C (355F approx) for 15-20 minutes.
Check that the chicken is not burning close to the end of the cooking time and use a meat thermometer to check the safe internal temperature has been reached also.
Serve and enjoy.
