Air Fryer

Ninja Foodi Grill

  • Set your Foodi Grill to Air Crisp, set the temperature to 375° F, and the time to 10 minutes.
  • Close the lid and allow to preheat.
  • When the grill beeps and the display says add food, add the chicken in a single layer.
  • Cook for 5 minutes and then flip. Cook for 5 more minutes, until the internal temperature has reached at least 160° F
  • Allow to rest and then serve.
