Just made this tonight. I have 3 kids, I home reluctantly from college. It's hard to please everyone. My wife likes to eat healthy. This hit all the marks. Used the water not the egg wash. We had air fried fries from the foodi and the Louisiana chicken from the Ninja grill! One tender left over for my pugs. They loved it. Thanks for taking the time to do these videos. Really enjoy watching and eating!!
Meant to say one home from college. I have 2 teen girls too. Talk about hard to please. This meal was gone in 15 mins. 😄 My dad purchased the Ninjas and was ready to get cooking. Unfortunately he passed before he could use them. With the quarantine we been cooking so much. I'm so thankful he purchased them. Quite a bit of meaning with each meal prepared. Thank you for the inspiration and ideas!
Personally...I"ve never seen chicken look so picturesque ! :) "Kitchens bring families together..." it's the whole reason I'm watching...learning... I am so hoping I"ll be able to make wonderfully enjoyable meals for my "family"- I think this one should elicit a few deserved squeals... which shall be much to my delight(and hopefully your's) !...This was pure delight...Thanks Jelly Double O...(I've never used batter or many of the things you do...but if I get it in my Double O notebook...it's a sure thing for part of my everyday life in MN...I'm very enthusiastic about knowing we'll all enjoy the whole process of the meal.... it is just what I need to bring into the "family" life from my house... This is a gift.. Thanks!
Who thank you Vita Z....I hope it does encourage bringing family's together...it is all that really matters... and thank you for describing it the way you do...I wish these type cooking devices had been around when my kids are smaller...I think I could have competed with Xbox...lol..thanks again and thank you for watching!!!
Recently got a Ninja Foodi XL grill (the 5 in 1). I followed John's instruction on the video this afternoon----and yes!!!! absolutely crispy, juicy, and perfectly cooked chicken thighs!!! Man...these were good. My wife is not a big fried chicken fan but she scarfed these down like there was no tomorrow....happy wife...happy life!--and the whole cook was about 15 minutes (and yes temp was 165)....can you believe that? Thank you Mr John for this video!!
These air fryers are gonna put Ol George Forman and his grills out of business. George Forman betta hurry and put out an XL air fryer to knockout the competition. LOL! L8TR.
Thank you for all the talent and effort you put into these videos! I binge watched all of your Foodi Grill videos and then ordered the grill - it should be here tomorrow! I really appreciated being able to watch such entertaining and informative demos to help me make my purchasing decision!
Well thank you...it's good to know I'm helping someone...I think you made a good decision and you will be pleased with its performance...and thank you for watching!!!
I found some but had to drive to the next town 20 miles away. Wow was it worth it. I can’t believe that you can get the color without spraying oil on it. Also that it’s so easy to use. Thank you.
Thank you Susan...I found it by accident while looking for something totally different...I was excited to see it and decided to give it a try and I am very impressed!! Thanks for watching!
Thanks jelly007, I really like your videos, you make cooking fun, and your funny, thanks man, just purchased the ninja 8 quart, looking forward to using some of your recipes
I adore your videos 100%! I just bought the grill for my mom for her birthday to replace her air fryer and indoor grill. I think she is going to love this machine! I couldn’t afford to buy her a June oven like I have but the ninja foodie grill seems to be a close second :-)
Please make sure to show her this video....I would love to hear what she thinks about air fried chicken...I think my mom would approve although hers may have been a little better...I'm positive she is watChing from above though...thanks for watching!
This Air Fryer Batter is a game changer - I've made delicious air fried chicken with the regular mix, but you have to spray it with oil, and spray it evenly - kinda a big ol' mess. Thanks, John. I'm gonna hunt some of this down today, what a great way to take that air crisp function on my Foodi Grill on it's maiden voyage!
John, you cracked me up when you took a bite of the thigh from the egg wash, you looked like you were in chicken heaven. Up here in Canada we seem to get the extras a little later. I will wait and look forward to trying it. Cheers John.
OMG...I so agree with you and the Louisiana coating is sooooo delicious...the pork chop coating a great too. I have to say, my pork chops which were done in the Foodi grill were the best I have ever made..so moist.
Hey John, You amazed me again. We usually buy broasted chicken and freeze it for meals once a week. When we first get it, the breading and skin are on the soggy side, but I rewarm it from frozen in a NuWave oven that gets it crispy without drying the meat. This takes 30 minutes in the Nuwave oven from frozen. After reheating, you can see all of the grease that came out of the chicken. You cooked the chicken from scratch with no oil and it took only a couple minutes more than it takes me to rewarm frozen broasted chicken breasts that are full of oil. The two advantages of air frying chicken that stand out for me are 1) the chicken isn't cooked in oil, and 2) buying broasted chicken from the store is a lot more expensive than buying fresh chicken. Another thing we buy from the store that isn't cheap is broasted potatoes. Have you tried making air fried potato wedges from fresh potatoes. I have tried making oven baked potato wedges numerous time in the oven and air fried, and they are never as good as the broasted potatoes.
I have posted a link to potatoes wedges I did below...they were good but I have never tried the broasted so I'm not sure how they compare...thanks you for watching! th-cam.com/video/ZRdJiqvdzqk/w-d-xo.html
@@JohnSanders Thanks, John. I'll check it out. I noticed you did the potato wedges in the Ninja Pressure Cooker with the crisper lid. I have that appliance, too. I have done pressure cooking and steaming in it, but as yet, haven't done anything with the crisper lid.
John, That looks amazing. Found some of the Louisiana air fryer chicken at local HEB cannot wait to try. Usually use shake and bake extra crispy for air fryer, that looks far better. Peace Luke T
Mr.Jelly 007. You are a culinary mad scientist. Vids are always interesting and informative. BTW, I've been using the Louisiana brand gumbo base for many years along with many other of their products. Always first rate. Gonna try the AF seasoning tomorrow for dinner.
I've used my air fryer and cooked air fried chicken today. And I was pleasantly surprised!! It was actually delicious, didn't taste like Shake n Bake chicken. It was like actual fried chicken, only a bit healthier. And I used that same coating mix you've used in the video, but my air fryer is an Insta Vortex. Just wanted to give you a heads up.
Thanks John, good videos and good recipes. Foodi Grill is the best purchase I've made this year with a tiny kitchen in a studio apt. One device that can air fry and grill with a 510f grate, with no smoke? Not possible. Except it is and it works fantastic. Massive space saver too as this and an instant pot for slow cook/rice/pressure cook and your golden with 2 appliances. Oh the pro was very much worth it (got it on fathers day sale for 360 with all the accessories from foodi direct) to stick the probe into my chicken, set the temp, done. Quick tip for ya, don't use cooking spray to coat the pan if it has chemical propellant, they are bad for the non stick coating. I don't have an oil mister yet so I use avocado spray on the food but brush on canola oil on the pans.
Thanks and glad you enjoy the videos...i love the grill and think it is a very worthy indoor grilling device... and it air fries!!! I now use Avocado Oil in a pump spray bottle from Pam that does not have a propellant but I do have many of the aerosol type cans I've got to use up... but thanks for the tip and thanks for watching!!!
WoW! Not understanding using ice water ? Quite a kitchen you have there! The Yedi fryer allows you to rotisserie a whole chicken. But not one of these fryers, including the Yedi, allows for more meat pieces than meals for two people when fried like this. Can’t wait to try the new Louisiana mix!
The ice water really isn't to soak the chicken although that wouldn't hurt... it is just to batter the chicken with, and all I did was shake the excess water off and drop in the bag to coat the chicken...hope this helps and let me know how it turns out...
@@JohnSanders I"m smiling with a little laugh 'cause it's all new to me...and thank you for taking the time to explain... I just did your salmon-Yummy....:) I'm really getting to like this machine...and w/o your recipes--- I'd be lost... THANKS!
Great video, I ran to Walmart and bought the mix. I am planning to cook a whole chicken that I cut up. Do you think I need to plan to cook the legs and wings for a shorter time? Also do you think if I wanted to make hot chicken that adding hot sauce to the milk and egg batter and a bit of red pepper flakes to the coating would work ok? Thanks !
It would be best to check temp with an instant read and I do not think adding hot sauce will hurt anything...let us know how it turns out...and thanks for watching!
@@josnowcruises6854 I know how you feel about waistlines...between my test results and the actual video I eat way more than I used to...I gotta feeling it is about to start showing...lol...thanks again!!
Chicken looks great . Just a quick tip to get the screen from the lid looking like new spray with no fume oven spray let sit for a while rinse off comes out looking like new 😀
Yeah...I've been thinking of using some stuff I have but I haven't done that yet...Probably soon though...I have used this thing way more than I expected...lol...thanks for watching!
Christiane Fletcher...cool! Thanks so very much for the tip..does the spray smell a lot of whatever? I'm thinking about the screen after the cleaning & drying...? Thanks- :)
You're too much! You've convinced me... ordering TWO boxes & paid out my ear for it's arrival to be here in two business days? LOL...I want to make this...I don't think I've seen thighs that big... I bought my first yesterday & will cook them first...then look around for thicker ones(just for fun)...and do this...You've got it goin' on Double O ! * I'm going to surprise my neighbors downstairs and deliver this on a decorated platter...* :)
I can honestly say that they were the best fried chicken I have ever made...I've tried oil frying and it was ok but not as good as this not to mention how much easier!!! Thanks Vita z...and thanks for watching!
You are welcome Mark and I did not...but...if anything it may have needed a little salt which I honestly think is better added at the table...thanks for watching!
Well I think you made two good decisions...the chicken is absolutely excellent...I might have to put this on my resume for my next job interview...lol...thanks for watching!
I just bought this yesterday. Per the store locator on their website, the only place you can buy it in all of Metro Atlanta is Walmart. No Publix, Kroger etc. A good bit cheaper than Amazon.
I have a Breville Smart oven air so that would make this a lot easier of an answer.. I like both devices and I have a few videos on the oven you can watch..but, I will say that the grill has impressed me a lot and I have found myself using it much now than I expected...hope this helps and thanks for watching!
@@JohnSanders thanks. I do have a toaster oven without the air fryer so was considering that with the nija oven but maybe I will get the grill or maybe both lol. Have a hard time deciding. Thanks for your help
Fealice Green & Jelly Double O..... well I'm glad to know that...will put that fact in my Jelly Double O notebook... I don't rely on my brain so thanks Fealice for getting JDO to post that here. :) !!
Here's the link to where it is always sold(along with the Pork & Fish AIR FRY seasoning each in separate box if you'd like).... cajuncrate.com/products/la-fish-fry-chicken-air-fryer-seasoned-coating-mix?variant=29457264443415&Google%20Shopping&gclid=CjwKCAiAluLvBRASEiwAAbX3GfW7CAvqaew2vibMad7EovwsYN8xFaQBhBFoxbuqmqwsMNjQBq5GCxoCaccQAvD_BwE
This chicken looks beautiful. I’m looking for something mainly for air frying. But I’m considering the Foodi grill because of the added benefit of the grilling option. Based on its air fry feature, how does it compare to pod air fryers or oven style air fryers? There seems to be so many options on the market!
@@JohnSanders I got one yesterday with a 20% off coupon at Bed bath and beyond. Already did a nice ribeye on the grill, and it came out so well, without an ounce of smoke! I’ll be doing some fried wings in it within the next day or so. Thanks for the videos John, they really helped me make my decision!
Pretty much...but you can't get to these temps as far as the 510° grill temp and larger items will fit in this... and a few other things...but a lot of it you can...hope this helps and thanks for watching!
The Ninja Foodi pro grill looks like a great machine. Have you considered purchasing the new Instant Omni or the Instant Omni Plus? They will have the same rotisserie limit as the instant vortex plus.
One of the reasons I haven't...I like the grill but a for pound chicken is just not that common around here...but it does have some nice features...thanks for watching!
I forgot to add another question. Will any of your air fryer appliances cook a smallish 10-11 pound turkey? I have a Nuwave oven with an extender which I use for cooking turkeys. I use it without the extender for cooking every week. It’s 4 years old and I’m not sure how much longer it will hold up. I was wondering if any of your air fryers would take the place of it when it finally dies. Thanks!
My always go to for Cajun is Tony Chachere's and it is not blazing hot so I might go as far as 2Tbs per cup... but that is a total guess... you might have to adjust...lol... but there are a lot of different ones out there... maybe also try Emeril Lagasse Cajun season... hope this helps... good luck... and thanks for watching!!!
@@JohnSanders Thanks!. I forgot that I have a recipe for Cajun spice.....DUH! The amount per cup of coating is a great help though. I'll let you know how it turns out after we have it Wednesday evening. Louisiana Air Fry products are hard to come by in my area. The only one I can find is for chicken, but I'd almost be willing to bet that it could also be used on fish or pork. Guess I'll find out for the catfish on Tuesday!
@@jasondavenport23454 I'm actually watching it and hearing it now...i did have an issue a few months ago where some could not hear a video i did but others could hear it??? Not really sure what causes that... thanks for letting me know...
Yeah I have no clue why but I appreciate your response and checking it. I just got my foodie pro last week so I was trying to figure out the best way to do chicken.
I had one recipe from the book I didn't... it's been awhile and don't remember... I'll try to look back and update this answer but other than that everything good... thanks for watching!!!
Most store sell generic shake & bake that is half the price. TIP: dry the chicken then smear with MAYO then dredge or shake (it help the coating adhere better than water or egg wash))
What kind of milk did you use for your wash, regular or buttermilk? Love me some good fried chicken. Just got a ninja, want to try this right away. Thanks for the information.👍🏾
What would be the advantage to the Ninja grill vs. the Ninja Foodie besides the probe? I mean they seem to do virtually the same thing, besides maybe having different dimensions/holding capacity. Great video as always Jelly, gonna have to go get me some of dat air fry batta! ;)
I actually think with a temp probe you could cook more chicken with the foodi deluxe and stackable trays...and nothing wrong with either of those devices...and that batter is awesome! Thanks for watching!
I like to pull the chicken out at 150, wrap it in foil and let it sit. After 5 to 10 minutes it will be at 165 and be juicy.. I do the same on the smoker, and with any meats.
What makes This "Air Fry" batter ? How does it differ from normal Louisiana Chicken batter ? Can you please list the ingredients? Or maybe in another video show the ingredients from the box and I'll freeze the video & read myself. Thanks
Question. I was wondering if you neglect your big green egg like I do now since all these devices have come out. Love my egg but stuff comes out just as good if not better.
I would say so...for the last couple of years there have been so many new and interesting ways to cook that it's easy to cook something new or even something old in a new way without ever running out of ideas...but I still try to fire up the egg every once in awhile... although not as much as I used to...thanks for watching!
Thighs should be cooked to 180 deg F. Dark meat has more moisture and connective tissue which won't be broken down at 165. While safe to eat, they will be chewy and more unsavory bits at 165. 180 they will be MUCH better
I agree...I do stress safety but like many meats such as chicken wings, pulled pork, brisket and several others at temperatures well past the safe temp level... very good point...thanks and thanks for watching!!!
Considering that mayo is nothing but whipped eggs, do you ever consider breading your chicken with mayo? It seems like the breading would stick to the meat easier. I’ve tried it. But I used store bought mayo, and I think they put vinegar or something else tangy in it that only concentrated during cooking. I didn’t care for that part. But trying with my own whipped eggs is still on my bucket list (bucket of chicken 🤗🤗🤗). Any thoughts? Did you think spraying some oil on these pieces was called for?
Sorry about that... not sure what happened but I haven't heard this before... but if anyone else notices it please let me know...thanks for watching!!!
My God how much is that company that you’re using their air fryers going to pay for because you talk for half of the video about your air fryer I just wanted to watch the product of Louisiana air fryer better
Sorry Austin...I guess I am a little overly excited about air frying...but I assure you...no one...anywhere or in anyway is paying me...I am not affiliated, connected or have ever even spoke with any one at either company...thank you for watching though.
Damn dude you repeat the same thing 4 times! Could of been an exceptional video if you didn’t flap them lips so much and get the camera closer! Try again
You are so amazing!!! I did it and it taste so great bro!!! Thank you so much for a great thing and I am very excited too see what you give us next...
Great to hear... thanks for trying the recipe and posting your results...
This looks amazing. I agree, ALL companies who make these pre-mixed batters SHOULD now be producing them for air fryers.
Thank you and I hope others will follow...thanks for watching!
He got extra excited after the first bite!! I love it!! FOOD+FAMILY+AIR FRYER = EVERYTHING!!
I sure did...lol... and that is a pretty accurate math equation... thanks for watching!!!

Yeah...I've been thinking of using some stuff I have but I haven't done that yet...Probably soon though...I have used this thing way more than I expected...lol...thanks for watching!
Christiane Fletcher...cool! Thanks so very much for the tip..does the spray smell a lot of whatever? I'm thinking about the screen after the cleaning & drying...? Thanks- :)
Looks great.
Thanks...and thanks for watching!
You're too much! You've convinced me... ordering TWO boxes & paid out my ear
for it's arrival to be here in two business days? LOL...I want to make this...I don't think I've seen thighs that big... I bought my first yesterday & will cook them first...then look around for
thicker ones(just for fun)...and do this...You've got it goin' on Double O ! * I'm going to surprise my neighbors downstairs and deliver this on a decorated platter...* :)
I can honestly say that they were the best fried chicken I have ever made...I've tried oil frying and it was ok but not as good as this not to mention how much easier!!! Thanks Vita z...and thanks for watching!
About to try Walmart on the off chance they might have the seasoning. I did see they carry the blue box AIR FRY Fish seasoning... we'll see-
Do you season the chicken before the batter.? Or do you think you need to ? Thank you so much for your foodi grill videos.
You are welcome Mark and I did not...but...if anything it may have needed a little salt which I honestly think is better added at the table...thanks for watching!
@@JohnSanders I added a little salt to mine after a bite or two...:)
I agree...thanks for watching!
Funny you said you are not a salesman. I just brought a Ninja foodi grill because of this video. And I am make fried chicken tonight.
Well I think you made two good decisions...the chicken is absolutely excellent...I might have to put this on my resume for my next job interview...lol...thanks for watching!
Do you still spray the basket with oil?
I'm not positive it really matters but I do it to help with clean up... thanks for watching!!
What is that display you're using? Looks like a Fire HD.
Have you grilled thicker steaks? Like 2 inches.
That is a Samsung S4 and I have grilled thick steaks but only on other devices like outdoor grill..thanks for watching!
Where do you buy your Louisiana air fry batter from?
I ordered it from their website but I think you can get it at Wal-Mart...thanks for watching!
@@JohnSanders thanks
I just bought this yesterday. Per the store locator on their website, the only place you can buy it in all of Metro Atlanta is Walmart. No Publix, Kroger etc. A good bit cheaper than Amazon.
If you had to decide on one would you choose the nija grill or the nija oven?
I have a Breville Smart oven air so that would make this a lot easier of an answer.. I like both devices and I have a few videos on the oven you can watch..but, I will say that the grill has impressed me a lot and I have found myself using it much now than I expected...hope this helps and thanks for watching!
@@JohnSanders thanks. I do have a toaster oven without the air fryer so was considering that with the nija oven but maybe I will get the grill or maybe both lol. Have a hard time deciding. Thanks for your help
@@tl9113 no problem...I'm the same way...lol.
Is this in stores the mix..
I'm don't think so...I have not been able to find it yet...it is available online though...thanks for watching!
Fealice Green & Jelly Double O..... well I'm glad to know that...will put that fact in my Jelly
Double O notebook... I don't rely on my brain so thanks Fealice for getting JDO to
post that here. :) !!
Here's the link to where it is always sold(along with the Pork & Fish AIR FRY seasoning each in
separate box if you'd like).... cajuncrate.com/products/la-fish-fry-chicken-air-fryer-seasoned-coating-mix?variant=29457264443415&Google%20Shopping&gclid=CjwKCAiAluLvBRASEiwAAbX3GfW7CAvqaew2vibMad7EovwsYN8xFaQBhBFoxbuqmqwsMNjQBq5GCxoCaccQAvD_BwE
This chicken looks beautiful. I’m looking for something mainly for air frying. But I’m considering the Foodi grill because of the added benefit of the grilling option. Based on its air fry feature, how does it compare to pod air fryers or oven style air fryers? There seems to be so many options on the market!
It does a very good job but only items that fit...I do like it though...thanks for watching!!!
@@JohnSanders I got one yesterday with a 20% off coupon at Bed bath and beyond. Already did a nice ribeye on the grill, and it came out so well, without an ounce of smoke! I’ll be doing some fried wings in it within the next day or so. Thanks for the videos John, they really helped me make my decision!
John, can I do everything in the ninja foodie multi cooker? That you are doing in this?
Pretty much...but you can't get to these temps as far as the 510° grill temp and larger items will fit in this... and a few other things...but a lot of it you can...hope this helps and thanks for watching!
@@JohnSanders thank you for the tips.
Awesome!
Thanks Ellen...and thanks for watching!
wow that cunch sounded sick
It is a very good batter... thanks for watching!!!
The Ninja Foodi pro grill looks like a great machine. Have you considered purchasing the new Instant Omni or the Instant Omni Plus? They will have the same rotisserie limit as the instant vortex plus.
One of the reasons I haven't...I like the grill but a for pound chicken is just not that common around here...but it does have some nice features...thanks for watching!
I forgot to add another question. Will any of your air fryer appliances cook a smallish 10-11 pound turkey? I have a Nuwave oven with an extender which I use for cooking turkeys. I use it without the extender for cooking every week. It’s 4 years old and I’m not sure how much longer it will hold up.
I was wondering if any of your air fryers would take the place of it when it finally dies. Thanks!
Not that I am aware of....honestly a 5-6 pound chicken is a stretch in most and some won't do above 4 pounds...thanks for watching!
I have all 3, chicken,pork , and fish,delicious.
I agree...very happy that a company this size has opened this market up...it is as excellent as the rest of their products...thanks for watching!
Jelly007... you da man!
Thank you!!! And thanks for watching!
Did you use any oil spray?
No...not even in the basket!!! Thanks for watching!
thanks for the help
Your welcome and thank you for watching!
now that is some mighty fine air fried chicken!
It really was Sean...I was overly impressed...thanks for watching!
@@JohnSanders we don't get Lousiana brand products up here but I'm definitely making a trip across the border to grab a case of this stuff!
@@seanneild2849 I'll be getting more myself!!
Like great. Should get a pig tail style meat hook. Won't run the risk of messing the coating up.
That is a good idea Roger.. i might just do that.. thanks for watching!!!
John, I went to Walmart and found this batter, but it doesn't say "AIRFRY". Should be ok to air fry though right?
Not sure it will be the same but I think it will work...let me know and...thanks for watching!
John......I'm wanting to make this with some Cajun spice in it. How much do you suggest I put, and do you recommend any particular brand?
My always go to for Cajun is Tony Chachere's and it is not blazing hot so I might go as far as 2Tbs per cup... but that is a total guess... you might have to adjust...lol... but there are a lot of different ones out there... maybe also try Emeril Lagasse Cajun season... hope this helps... good luck... and thanks for watching!!!
@@JohnSanders Thanks!. I forgot that I have a recipe for Cajun spice.....DUH! The amount per cup of coating is a great help though. I'll let you know how it turns out after we have it Wednesday evening. Louisiana Air Fry products are hard to come by in my area. The only one I can find is for chicken, but I'd almost be willing to bet that it could also be used on fish or pork. Guess I'll find out for the catfish on Tuesday!
Sounds great... let me know how it does!
Shame neither the grill or the coating mix seems to be available in Canada
That is not good... what about Amazon?
@@JohnSanders I can't find the coating mix on amazon.ca and it says it doesn't ship to Canada on amazon.com.
No audio for me
I haven't heard that on this one but if others have the same issue please let me know...
All your other videos the audio works for me
@@jasondavenport23454 I'm actually watching it and hearing it now...i did have an issue a few months ago where some could not hear a video i did but others could hear it??? Not really sure what causes that... thanks for letting me know...
Yeah I have no clue why but I appreciate your response and checking it. I just got my foodie pro last week so I was trying to figure out the best way to do chicken.
I noticed that not all wal mart's carry this product I wonder why?
I'm not sure...I did pick some up at mine not long ago...thanks for watching!!!
Egg "wash"? Ice water? Can you tell I don't have a clue?
It is all easy to do...I promise..and you will love it...thanks for watching!
Have you ever cooked something in the Ninja you didn’t like?
I had one recipe from the book I didn't... it's been awhile and don't remember... I'll try to look back and update this answer but other than that everything good... thanks for watching!!!
Most store sell generic shake & bake that is half the price. TIP: dry the chicken then smear with MAYO then dredge or shake (it help the coating adhere better than water or egg wash))
What kind of milk did you use for your wash, regular or buttermilk? Love me some good fried chicken. Just got a ninja, want to try this right away. Thanks for the information.👍🏾
Regular...I just followed the directions on the package... thanks for watching!!
John Sanders thank you for the quick reply. Now I can get to cookin!😁
What would be the advantage to the Ninja grill vs. the Ninja Foodie besides the probe? I mean they seem to do virtually the same thing, besides maybe having different dimensions/holding capacity. Great video as always Jelly, gonna have to go get me some of dat air fry batta! ;)
I actually think with a temp probe you could cook more chicken with the foodi deluxe and stackable trays...and nothing wrong with either of those devices...and that batter is awesome! Thanks for watching!
I'm a fan! Do you have written recipes?
Not yet...I have tried to get a website running...I need to do that though... thanks for watching and hopefully soon!!!
Yummy
They were absolutely delicious and perfectly cooked!! Thanks for watching!
I like to pull the chicken out at 150, wrap it in foil and let it sit. After 5 to 10 minutes it will be at 165 and be juicy.. I do the same on the smoker, and with any meats.
I have done something similar and it does work well...I do go a little higher on though just to be safe...thanks and thanks for watching!!!
What makes This "Air Fry" batter ? How does it differ from normal Louisiana Chicken batter ? Can you please list the ingredients? Or maybe in another video show the ingredients from the box and I'll freeze the video & read myself. Thanks
The next video I do I will include picture of ingredients, sorry I didn't do that on this one...thanks for watching!!!
I’ve tried it. Not for me. Even tried the one for fish. To corse , I’d rather use a regular breading and spices.
I liked them but rarely see them in the store anymore... i loved the chicken most I guess...thanks for watching!!!
I like how folks from the south say "oil". To me it sounds like "ool", but heck I'm from Minnesota so I say stuff that sounds like I'm in Canada....
Lol... it is a word we say a little different...lol...thanks for watching !!
Can I request chicken breasts with the air fryer mix on the ninja grill and bloomin onion in another!
I'll definitely give that some thought...thanks for watching!!!
I’m about to buy an air fryer! It’s cyber Monday and they are cheap today
This one does very well...thanks for watching!
John Sanders I’ve been watchin your videos all damn day 😂 I’m a single dad with 2 daughters so quick meals is what I go for.
New subbie 😊
Thanks Lisa..Glad to have you aboard!!!
making me hungry
It's really good!!!
Question. I was wondering if you neglect your big green egg like I do now since all these devices have come out. Love my egg but stuff comes out just as good if not better.
I would say so...for the last couple of years there have been so many new and interesting ways to cook that it's easy to cook something new or even something old in a new way without ever running out of ideas...but I still try to fire up the egg every once in awhile... although not as much as I used to...thanks for watching!
Thighs should be cooked to 180 deg F. Dark meat has more moisture and connective tissue which won't be broken down at 165. While safe to eat, they will be chewy and more unsavory bits at 165. 180 they will be MUCH better
I agree...I do stress safety but like many meats such as chicken wings, pulled pork, brisket and several others at temperatures well past the safe temp level... very good point...thanks and thanks for watching!!!
Hey John have you fried fish with the Louisiana batter.
Yes...it did well and I should have the video ready soon...thanks for watching!
@@JohnSanders oh wonderful. Will be looking for it. Ty
Can we call you "Colonel Sanders" ?
I've certainly been called worse...lol...thanks for watching!
Considering that mayo is nothing but whipped eggs, do you ever consider breading your chicken with mayo? It seems like the breading would stick to the meat easier. I’ve tried it. But I used store bought mayo, and I think they put vinegar or something else tangy in it that only concentrated during cooking. I didn’t care for that part. But trying with my own whipped eggs is still on my bucket list (bucket of chicken 🤗🤗🤗). Any thoughts? Did you think spraying some oil on these pieces was called for?
I like the mayo idea but I have never tried that...and I did not us any oil at all in this recipe and it definitely not needed...thanks for watching!
The audio on this video is off. It only comes through one side of headphones and is hard to listen to.
Sorry about that... not sure what happened but I haven't heard this before... but if anyone else notices it please let me know...thanks for watching!!!
My God how much is that company that you’re using their air fryers going to pay for because you talk for half of the video about your air fryer I just wanted to watch the product of Louisiana air fryer better
Sorry Austin...I guess I am a little overly excited about air frying...but I assure you...no one...anywhere or in anyway is paying me...I am not affiliated, connected or have ever even spoke with any one at either company...thank you for watching though.
Damn dude you repeat the same thing 4 times! Could of been an exceptional video if you didn’t flap them lips so much and get the camera closer! Try again
Sorry...I do get a little long winded...thanks for watching though!
