I followed your recipe about 6 weeks ago and received rave reviews on the chicken. Sooo I am making it again. I especially like your technique of rubbing butter under the skin. You make it seem so easy and actually it is when following your recipe. Keep showing me how to make the most with my Ninja Foodi Grill. Thanks.
Thanks for this video. We have the ninja foodie grill with preset and thermometer but I used your prep method with a few different herbs I grow in my garden - Greek spicy basil and lemon thyme, along with lemon slices. I added the butter under the skin too, great tip. Turned out great, thanks!
Last week I made a whole chicken in my new Dutch Oven. It was wonderful. I decided to compare to a chicken made in my Ninja Foodi Oven. Used this recipe :) It was amazing. Much easier (far less ingredients), and I enjoyed working w/this gal :) As good as last week's chicken was, this far surpassed it. Thank you for such an easy, fabulous recipe.
I used this recipe tonight for dinner. My kid’s demolished the whole thing immediately!!! I highly recommend it. Not to mention it was my first time using it, as it was my Mother’s Day gift.
I just purchased the same grill! Can’t wait to try out your recipe. One question, why did you choose to use Air Crisp over Roast? No judging, newer to cooking!
Think it makes the skin crispier. But not much difference on the settings. Except gif the ninja xl smart lid and I think the griddle grill if I remember correctly.
Made this chicken last night and it came out great!!! Followed your recipe to a "T". Just took a little longer to cook, but it was a bigger bird. Very crisp skin and very moist meat. Thanks!!!!!
I just got my grill yesterday. Thank you so much for your very helpful video! You are so easy to follow and I am a new subscriber!! Can’t wait to see more of your talent!
Lisa those shots of the final product at the beginning of each video are awesome it immediately makes you want to go out to the kitchen and start the ole Ninja up at get cooking! Just for the record if it had been me I would have picked up that lemon and washed it thoroughly and put it in the chicken but then I am a bit rebellious I guess.
Thanks Kiki J-sometimes simplicity is best-its how my mom made. roast chicken in the oven-I have always enjoyed it. But you can season your chicken anyway that you like. Thanks Kiki!
I wasn't sure which ninja grill to buy. After watching your brilliant video I'll get same one as yours and try your roast chicken recipe. Thanks for inspiration!
Just wanted to add that you can also put that fat you trimmed from the inside of the cavity under the breast skin to help baste and flavor under the breast--along with the butter, or alone if there's a lot of trimmed fat.... Nice video. Just got one of these and am checking out how-to's...
Thanks for the recipe, I just got the foodie for Christmas and am dying for a roast chicken! Quick question: why not use the roast function? Does the air crisp have more air to crisp up the skin more?
Awesome. Thank you very much. I sometimes add an onion inside my Chicken to avoid it from drying up. When cooked the old fashioned way, oven. No longer. You are the best.
your videos crack me up. I love it. I just purchased the smart xl grill so I'm really enjoying watching you. I'm getting ready to order some accessories for my new toy. I hope to see you maybe do some kebabs.
@@pressurecrisp I made it, and it was Awesome !! How easy clean up was--I usually cook whole chicken in my pressure oven, and it is kind of a challenge to get perfectly clean, but the Ninja cleans up easily. I spatchcocked it and laid it on the rack, I was afraid it was too big to put in whole. I put mustard on half of it, and it did give it a good flavor. Thanks for this vid !!
OMG! Mine came out perfectly! My hubby & Granddaughter thanks you so much! I use my Ninja foodi Grill often...but never for Baked chicken. Thanks Again! New Subbie here!❤
Lisa you're a comedienne, saying that you swear it's on steroids. I love your sense of humour girl. Please keep on making your brilliant hilarious but educational videos. Thank you Miss Lisa ( teacher) lol
You wouldn't believe what I edit out-lol. My humor a lot of people don't get so. I have to be careful sometimes-lol. I should have an R-rated Pressure. Crisp channel lol. oh that would be fun! When I cook not on camera its a blur, quick quick quick....and I talk too myself-I really should do a vid like this.hehehe....
Pressure Crisp Hi Lisa Merry Christmas to you too! Hmm not sure what I’m going to do first but I do have a chicken 😃. Thank you for the great videos and love the Facebook page 🎄💕
I have the new XL. I’m going to try this. I started out just doing chkn legs. They turn out great. My friend also loosened the skin on the legs on top. And put some butter there on the thighs. I’ll try that too.
I noticed that you didn't use the basket attachment or wire rack accessory to keep the chicken elevated from the drippings, would using either of the two accessories have elevated the bird too high and too close to the heating element and the protective screen?
Lisa, I love your down to earth videos. Which method makes the best whole roasted chicken, ninja grill or ninja foodi with just crisper lid or ninja foodi pressure and crisper combo? The chicken in your crisper only video looked the best but it looked easier in the grill due to the extra room; I just didn't like that it was cooking in its own juice/grease. I would like to know which way was the most tender, juicy, and crispy like a real rotisserie chicken. Thank you for your help and guidance.
Lol-my nephew said the same thing yesterday-that he doesn't like the chicken to. sit in its own juices. In the Grill that will be difficult due tot he height issue-you will have to pick up a very small. bird/cornish hen so. it docent sit in the juices. I may have to pick one up and experiment a little. My preference is to roast the chicken they are moist and its the "traditional way" to cook chicken. Pressure cooking chicken changes the. consistency/mouth feels,of the meat(remember this is just my preference). To obtain that juicy bird. most important is to not overcook it-which is sometimes difficult due to the breast. meat cooking. before the. thigh area. But another trick is to brine the bird-I wanted to do a comparison video on a. brined bird vs a traditional roasted bird. Definitely more room in the foodi to roast a chicken. Oh there is another way which I haven't tried yet is spatchcocking the chicken-cut. the backbone out and flatten the. chicken out. I hope this helps Peter
@@pressurecrisp Lisa, thank you for the quick reply. I am sorry but still a bit unclear. In your reply you state definitely more room in the foodi, however, in your videos it definitely looked like the grill had way more space. Did you mean to say grii? In addition, you said in your reply that roasting is the best method, however, in both the grill video and the foodi video you cooked the chicken in air crisp mode and not roast. I am assuming that you wanted to say air crisp, however, both the grill and the foodi have air crisp mode. Which of the two did a better job in air crisp mode, the grill or the foodi? Again, thank you very much for all your help and guidance, it is very much appreciated. Peter.
@@Shark-at-Law sorry-I meant to say air crisp. When I said the foodi has more room I meant height. You are able to cook a larger chicken in the foodi than in the grill due to the height. I do plan on brining a chicken this week to see if there is a difference in moistness. Or I may use the split chicken breast I have in frig. I will do two using the brine and two no brine.
I'm going to try this method tomorrow since I started marinating both ducks today. I will be air frying 1 whole duck & roasting the other duck in my 5 in one Ninja Foodi Grill. I will probably update to reflect how my gourmet turns out...
Update: My ducks are done one air fried & one roasted, and they are absolutely delicious & beautiful. I will be doing this again, I wish I could upload a picture of my ducks before & after. I can only say that they look & nearly taste the same as what you would find in a Oriental restaurant but their's is rotisserie and mine is homemade by Ninja Foodi Grill.
Omg my family and I was so impressed it so crisp and juicy. Thanks again also I have a question about the grease collector am I missing something special in the back that I need to open up and clean the grease out of?
@@angelsmith8374 No there is nothing in the back just a drip tray when you open the lid to the grill that you can wipe out. And over time you will have to clean the back of the grill where the tents are as grease will collect there. I should do a vid to show people. very happy the chicken turned out great!
Thank so much for getting back too me, I would to see a video about it. Let me know if you decide to put one up so i can be on the look out happy holidays
I have a question. What would make the ninja foodi grill AG301 when air crisping french fries seasoned in the bag from the store, to emit smoke from the sides of the front lid when closed. I did clean the splatter shield with dawn foam soap earlier that day. Mine has really bad stuck on grease and everything else I've heard doesn't help. The fan is looking burnt too and I've had it lass than a year. I also asked on the group I think.
Hi Tammy, most likely a little grease from the fries. You can put a little water in bottom to try to prevent this. Mine does this as well. Hope this helps.
It looked as good as if you did a rotisserie or bought it. It seems a natural next step to toss some flour and milk into that pan and make gravy from those drippings. Even some instant mashed potatoes would soak that up successfully. On the other hand, that and tailgating on the interstate seem to be the sure ways of shortening your life. Maybe some things are best wiped out with paper towels and tossed.
Great video and thanks for sharing. What determines how you cook it, function? I believe you used air crisp. I have a whole chicken and making it tonight. Thought I had to spatchcock it.
Hi Rob, I think the settings are all. the same and that the different functions have different temperatures. butI'm not sure. I don't hear a. difference in fan speed but this is just my thoughts. I have cooked wings on air crisp and. roast and the. same with roast beefs-roast and bake and there really is not difference that I can tell. Hope this helps RobP!
I had to look it up-this is the old model Grill the 5 in 1 with 4 quart air fryer. Not sure if. the new Grill you can cook a whole chicken-done think it is deep enough. Thanks. Cheryl!
Question: for a 4lb chicken it fits in the air fryer basket within the base pan for the 5 in 1. Is there a reason you don't use the air fryer basket? Does it dry out the chicken?
What is the difference between air crisp, roast, and bake? I see no difference on my foodie grill in the way the fan operates using these three modes. Great chicken by the way.
Me personally. 0I think the only differences that you get some different temperatures with each function. I hear no change in fan speed either. But thesis just my opinion. thanks nukem!
Great job 👍 I am thinking of making this for Christmas. It would be perfect for the two of us. Merry Christmas. Thanks for the informative videos. I don't do Facebook so I'm glad you show us here. 🌲🎄🎀💝🎄🌲
@@pressurecrisp I forgot to mention that I read recently that the best way to clean your thermometer between temp checks is to use an alcohol swab. I think it's a great way to clean it. Hubby used them for his blood sugar checks anyway so we have them on hand. 🌲🎄🎀💝🎄🌲
@@pressurecrisp I thought it came our very nice and juicy! But was it a little undercooked? Not sure but I spot checked around the bird with my meat thermometer and indicated it was ready. The one mistake I made was NOT putting the bird in breast side DOWN which resulted in not very crispy skin--but then again, we didn't put anything between the breast and the skin. I wish Ninja Foodi had a recipe book or something. All of the videos I see are with different versions of the grill and most books are for the OnePot.
@@ultramannick Hi Jim, Think Ninja. has beginner Grill cookbook-think I have. it -lol but haven't used it. Think the best way to learn and get used to the Grill is just by using it-trial and error. But with the new and the older grill the tempos are the same but the times-the new grill cooks maybe a minute or two quicker. but I'm still playing with he new Grill.
Drop the temp down to 330 degrees. You will get excellent results and it won’t char which appears to happen most of the time and I see the Contributors have happen. Be more patient. It’s worth waiting a little longer and getting a better result.
Yes, came out great, I’m going to go for it in my foodi grill. i was afraid to try a whole bird in my machine, so I have to thank you for cooking it and showing it can be done.
You want to use Himalayan salt from ancient beds not from the ocean. Sea salt has micros plastic since it is harvested from the oceans. Man has done a fine job in polluting the oceans. Kosher does not mean jack ...... just a blessing perform by a Rabbi. Wonderful recipe demonstrated here. Good step by step clear instructions. Note the Ninja XL or Pro thermometer are inaccurate.Buy a quality thermometer.
Tobe honest I don't really see a difference using air fry or the roast function. But since its roast chicken you can use the roast. setting. Thanks Carly!
So many people have recommended this, I gave to give it a try! Maybe I’ll try it with some chicken thighs with a Panko coating! Thank you Jeff Dhaemon- really appreciate your comment!
You can use roast or air. crisp-I personally. don't think there is the much. of s difference-I hear no difference in fan speed-like I do with the newer XL Grill and XL Oven. But like I said just my opinion and go ahead and use roast. Thanks Daniel!
Its a difficult decision. If you have an iInstant pot I would say to get thee grill. Think about what you cook the most and how many people-pasta? steaks/meat? Will you pressure cook more for air crisp? I enjoy having both I cook the protein in the grill and sides in the ninja foodi. Or I make complete meals in the NFGrill. Instant pot can be purchased for around 60.00 this time of year. The grill 150.00. Shop around, watch videos, join some Facebook groups. Thanks Stogie Luva!
Hey I don’t have the ninja Foodi I have the grill I got it for Christmas I just started using it I cook a ribeye steak and now the whole chicken both turned out great I the grill because it does more then grill
That's good question wang chang- I think it may. as I have done wings with and. without oil. Will have to try wings with and without at the same time. Thanks!
One thing you forgot to do was to use a Sharp Knife and cut out the Collar Bone (Wishbone) before cooking. When you remove that you can cut the breast down the front which is impossible with it left in place because the bone will prevent you from cutting the meat. Great videos and so informative as always though. 😊
Thanks Andrew will do that next time! Thanks! and I do need my. knife sharpened-for got to bring a steel too. But found a local knife sharpening shop here in Vegas and will get it sharpened. Thanks Andrew!
@@andrewthomas3270 Oh you were! That is great! Oh how I appreciate butchers-wish I Paid attention when they butchered the cows and pigs when I was little. But I think I was too young-lol. I will TH-cam on how to remove the bone unless you start a butchering channel on YouTUbe-I would definitely subscribe!
yes mine came out great, but i seem to have gotten a false reading from my temping. i had like a 160 reading but i should have known better because it was a 6 lb. chicken and i pulled it at about 1 hr. the breast were beautiful, but the thigh needed about 15 additional minutes.
Sometimes its hard to get an accurate reading on a whole chicken-they say to take a temp in the thigh area but this sometimes difficult. I usually take multiple temps around the thigh area. And probably should have said this or showed it. In the future I will go over/show how to take a temp-in multiple areas of the thigh. Thanks james mcquay!
Hi. I did it yesterday for some reason had a lot of pink area in the bird(i.e not cock well) .. I had to put it in the Oven for 15 minutes at 220celsious to mitigate. Question-What did I do wrong in the Ninja grill? How do I know if I should increase the time more than 1 hour? Thanks
Definitely if. your bird is larger-continue to cook it in the grill. if it is getting too dark in color you can turn the bird over to. continue cooking it. You didn't do anything wrong-just cook it longer in the grill. Thanks eylkrn!
Thank you !! For this video , I do have one, and going to cook a chicken in it. and one day a roast beef !! 👊👍✌, Stay Safe & Stay Well you & yours !!. have a wonderful day !! 👏👏👏.

You can use air fry or roast setting with no real difference. If you grill just watch your temperatures -it will work.

Hi Tammy, most likely a little grease from the fries. You can put a little water in bottom to try to prevent this. Mine does this as well. Hope this helps.
It looked as good as if you did a rotisserie or bought it. It seems a natural next step to toss some flour and milk into that pan and make gravy from those drippings. Even some instant mashed potatoes would soak that up successfully. On the other hand, that and tailgating on the interstate seem to be the sure ways of shortening your life. Maybe some things are best wiped out with paper towels and tossed.
Lol. Gravy would have been so good! Thanks!
Thank you ❤️❤️❤️
Your welcome Tyren! Thank you for watching! Appreciate it!
I can't wait to make this!!
Let me know how it works for you. Thanks Lynndee911!
Can I use olive oil or avocado oil instead of butter?
Great video and thanks for sharing. What determines how you cook it, function? I believe you used air crisp. I have a whole chicken and making it tonight. Thought I had to spatchcock it.
Hi Rob, I think the settings are all. the same and that the different functions have different temperatures. butI'm not sure. I don't hear a. difference in fan speed but this is just my thoughts. I have cooked wings on air crisp and. roast and the. same with roast beefs-roast and bake and there really is not difference that I can tell. Hope this helps RobP!
How come when watching these you tube videos people never use the thermometer that came with grill?? Does it not work good or what?
to be honest I forget that I have it and prefer my other thermometers. thanks!
Cooking this today for my fiancées birthday dinner!
Happy birthday! hope it came out well!
💕👌👌👌Wow Thanks so much for the lovely review
Thank you eliran!
what kind of Ninja Foodi Grill is it you are cooking the chicken in. Is it a Ninja 5 in 1 or 4 in 1 Indoor Grill with 4 quart air fryer?
I had to look it up-this is the old model Grill the 5 in 1 with 4 quart air fryer. Not sure if. the new Grill you can cook a whole chicken-done think it is deep enough. Thanks. Cheryl!
Question: for a 4lb chicken it fits in the air fryer basket within the base pan for the 5 in 1. Is there a reason you don't use the air fryer basket? Does it dry out the chicken?
No if I put it in the basket it hits the lid/cover. Thanks Natalie!
What is the difference between air crisp, roast, and bake? I see no difference on my foodie grill in the way the fan operates using these three modes. Great chicken by the way.
Me personally. 0I think the only differences that you get some different temperatures with each function. I hear no change in fan speed either. But thesis just my opinion. thanks nukem!
Great video! Question for you: what model/size is this Ninja Foodi Grill?
The model is AG302. Its the first grill to come out. Thanks gertie06
@@pressurecrisp So you can do an entire 5 lb chicken in a 4Qt. machine? Impressive!
What’s the setting on roast or air fry or grill?
Great job 👍 I am thinking of making this for Christmas. It would be perfect for the two of us. Merry Christmas. Thanks for the informative videos. I don't do Facebook so I'm glad you show us here. 🌲🎄🎀💝🎄🌲
Thank you Cattitude! Your very welcome! Chicken would be perfect!
@@pressurecrisp I forgot to mention that I read recently that the best way to clean your thermometer between temp checks is to use an alcohol swab. I think it's a great way to clean it. Hubby used them for his blood sugar checks anyway so we have them on hand. 🌲🎄🎀💝🎄🌲
@@Cattitude48 Thanks for the tip! My mom has them as well. I'll get some from her.
Is there a printable recipe?
No - sorry. Maybe in future will have website with recipe.
Lise,Thank you
Your welcome Carol and thank you for watching and commenting!
Have to tried injecting a chicken with cajun marinade a fried turkey?
No I have never injected a chicken or a turkey- I have brined them-works great. Thanks Lawerence!
We're going to try this tonight. First time using our Ninja Foodi Grill. My wife insists it will end up the storage room in a few weeks.
I hope it came out for you! just start. using it and it will become indispensable in the kitchen. thanks Jim!
@@pressurecrisp I thought it came our very nice and juicy! But was it a little undercooked? Not sure but I spot checked around the bird with my meat thermometer and indicated it was ready. The one mistake I made was NOT putting the bird in breast side DOWN which resulted in not very crispy skin--but then again, we didn't put anything between the breast and the skin. I wish Ninja Foodi had a recipe book or something. All of the videos I see are with different versions of the grill and most books are for the OnePot.
@@ultramannick Hi Jim, Think Ninja. has beginner Grill cookbook-think I have. it -lol but haven't used it. Think the best way to learn and get used to the Grill is just by using it-trial and error. But with the new and the older grill the tempos are the same but the times-the new grill cooks maybe a minute or two quicker. but I'm still playing with he new Grill.
Drop the temp down to 330 degrees. You will get excellent results and it won’t char which appears to happen most of the time and I see the Contributors have happen. Be more patient. It’s worth waiting a little longer and getting a better result.
Thank for the tips Stacy!
Yes, came out great, I’m going to go for it in my foodi grill.
i was afraid to try a whole bird in my machine, so I have to thank you for cooking it and showing it can be done.
Try to find a five pound bird- I haven’t tried a six pound bird but maybe I should see if it fits. Thanks Romero Dubost!
I removed the backbone from the chicken crushed the breast bone a little. This way the chicken lies flatter and cooks easier, and faster.
@@bcfran3g844 Thanks for the tip!
awesome video
Wow.... is 1 hour cooking time not way too long??
You want to use Himalayan salt from ancient beds not from the ocean. Sea salt has micros plastic since it is harvested from the oceans. Man has done a fine job in polluting the oceans. Kosher does not mean jack ...... just a blessing perform by a Rabbi. Wonderful recipe demonstrated here. Good step by step clear instructions. Note the Ninja XL or Pro thermometer are inaccurate.Buy a quality thermometer.
Thanks Angel for the lesson and suggestions-appreciate it!
My version has both air fry and roast function, which would you use for roast chicken? Is there a difference?
Tobe honest I don't really see a difference using air fry or the roast function. But since its roast chicken you can use the roast. setting. Thanks Carly!
@@pressurecrisp thanks so much for your quick reply. I'm completely new to this 😊
@@carlychapman3078 Your welcome and let me know how you make out-don't hesitate if you have more questions.
What's the difference if you use the roast setting versus air crisp?
To be honest I'm not sure if there is. a difference -the temperatures are different but not sure about fan speed. Hope this helps.
@@pressurecrisp I wish we did have the answer for this!
Awesome just got my ninja …. Cooked a 5lb Chicken by this
great! how did it come out?
5 # stuffed chicken: what would the cooking time be?
maybe add on extra 15 minutes but always temp the. bird
Hey, just a tip.
Cover the bird in yellow mustard helps it brown and crisp up too!
BTW, I really enjoy your videos! :)
So many people have recommended this, I gave to give it a try! Maybe I’ll try it with some chicken thighs with a Panko coating! Thank you Jeff Dhaemon- really appreciate your comment!
I am going to try that !
Let me know how it turns out!
How come it is air crisp and not roast ?
You can use roast or air. crisp-I personally. don't think there is the much. of s difference-I hear no difference in fan speed-like I do with the newer XL Grill and XL Oven. But like I said just my opinion and go ahead and use roast. Thanks Daniel!
At least you didn't flip us the bird LOL
Heheheh... I actually. said that a few times and had to. edit it out-lol. Thanks lovietruth 5* 7* 1!
I'm new to the channel and been watching videos for 3 days now. Im so confused on which machine to buy the Ninja Foodi or Ninja Foodi Grill or both.
Its a difficult decision. If you have an iInstant pot I would say to get thee grill. Think about what you cook the most and how many people-pasta? steaks/meat? Will you pressure cook more for air crisp? I enjoy having both I cook the protein in the grill and sides in the ninja foodi. Or I make complete meals in the NFGrill. Instant pot can be purchased for around 60.00 this time of year. The grill 150.00. Shop around, watch videos, join some Facebook groups.
Thanks Stogie Luva!
@@pressurecrisp thank you for your input. Please keep up the video helps with meal prep ideas for my weight lose journey.
@@TheMrfeezie I will and thank you! Keep it up you. can do it!
Hey I don’t have the ninja Foodi I have the grill I got it for Christmas I just started using it I cook a ribeye steak and now the whole chicken both turned out great I the grill because it does more then grill
If i coated it with canola or vege oil would it be more crispy/brown?
That's good question wang chang- I think it may. as I have done wings with and. without oil. Will have to try wings with and without at the same time. Thanks!
@@pressurecrisp i did it. I spritz with canola. Mine took about 40 minutes with the oil
@@ccxfrank109 How crispy. were they?
@@pressurecrisp not very much. I think it just spd up the cooking process
One thing you forgot to do was to use a Sharp Knife and cut out the Collar Bone (Wishbone) before cooking.
When you remove that you can cut the breast down the front which is impossible with it left in place because the bone will prevent you from cutting the meat.
Great videos and so informative as always though. 😊
Thanks Andrew will do that next time! Thanks! and I do need my. knife sharpened-for got to bring a steel too. But found a local knife sharpening shop here in Vegas and will get it sharpened. Thanks Andrew!
Pressure Crisp you are welcome Talented Lady, I was a Butcher for 20 years so I know a bit about Animals Anatomy. 😋
@@andrewthomas3270 Oh you were! That is great! Oh how I appreciate butchers-wish I Paid attention when they butchered the cows and pigs when I was little. But I think I was too young-lol. I will TH-cam on how to remove the bone unless you start a butchering channel on YouTUbe-I would definitely subscribe!
I am a chef, we never cut out that bone. No need, slice from the side pal
@@Daniel-jo2mc Every Chef I have watched on TV carving a Chicken Always removes the wishbone pal. 😊
i like mine a litle mor brown especially the back
More brown is always better! Thanks Stephanie!
Wished they made a XL model
I wish it was a bit deeper. I haven’t received the new one yet- hopefully this week.
They do. It just came out and comes with a built in temp gauge so no guess work.
@@gerineely8716 it does not brown as good from a side by side video I watched and not as deep
Darling i just got my ninja XG foodi grill i love stuff chicken can it be done Love your viedos Thank you .Hugs
yes mine came out great, but i seem to have gotten a false reading from my temping. i had like a 160 reading but i should have known better because it was a 6 lb. chicken and i pulled it at about 1 hr. the breast were beautiful, but the thigh needed about 15 additional minutes.
Sometimes its hard to get an accurate reading on a whole chicken-they say to take a temp in the thigh area but this sometimes difficult. I usually take multiple temps around the thigh area. And probably should have said this or showed it. In the future I will go over/show how to take a temp-in multiple areas of the thigh. Thanks james mcquay!
Hi. I did it yesterday for some reason had a lot of pink area in the bird(i.e not cock well) .. I had to put it in the Oven for 15 minutes at 220celsious to mitigate.
Question-What did I do wrong in the Ninja grill? How do I know if I should increase the time more than 1 hour?
Thanks
In addition, I used 170 c instead of 350f. Is it ok?
Definitely if. your bird is larger-continue to cook it in the grill. if it is getting too dark in color you can turn the bird over to. continue cooking it. You didn't do anything wrong-just cook it longer in the grill. Thanks eylkrn!
170C if fine just had to convert it lol. 338F may take longer too cook but you can definitely use this. temp.
Can you cook a 7 pound chicken????
Thank you !! For this video , I do have one, and going to cook a chicken in it. and one day a roast beef !! 👊👍✌, Stay Safe & Stay Well you & yours !!. have a wonderful day !! 👏👏👏.

Flip the bird!
I was like what? then I realized-lol. Thanks Todd!
@@pressurecrisp you meant the chicken lol! I hardly was hearing but heard that
@@toddkaiser7594 lol. Guess I better watch what I say-lol.
@@pressurecrisp we all get in the moment sometimes. Have a good day!
@@toddkaiser7594 you too Todd!
Lisa you need to stop giving the chicken drinkiepos and getting it steaming lol. Steaming is a Scottish slang word for drunk .
I will have to. do a steaming chicken! maybe some Jack Daniels and brown sugar-that. will get it steaming.
