Description

The Ninja Foodi Chicken Wings recipe offers a simple and flavorful way to create crispy, tender, and delicious chicken wings using the versatile Ninja Foodi appliance.

Ingredients 

  • 1 pound Chicken wingettes and drumettes
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon Salt, adjust to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon Black pepper, adjust to taste
  • Seasonings of your choice
  • Sauce, optional
  • Fresh chopped parsley or cilantro, for garnish
  • Favorite Dipping Sauce

Instructions

Prep the Chicken Wings:

  • Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to ensure crispiness.
  • In a bowl, toss the wings with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, black pepper, and your choice of seasonings. Let them marinate for about 15-30 minutes.

Preheat the Ninja Foodi:

  • Select the "Air Crisp" function on the Ninja Foodi and set the temperature to 375°F (190°C).
  • Preheat the Ninja Foodi for a few minutes until it reaches the desired temperature.

Cooking Method: Marinated Chicken Wings In Ninja Foodi

  • Place the marinated chicken wings in the Ninja Foodi basket in a single layer, ensuring they don't overlap.
  • Air crisp the wings for about 25-30 minutes, flipping or shaking the basket halfway through. This time can vary based on wing size and desired crispiness, so keep an eye on them.
  • If you're using a sauce, toss the cooked wings in the sauce while they're still warm.

Cooking Method: Coated Chicken Wings In Ninja Foodi

  • If using a coating, lightly coat the marinated wings in all-purpose flour or cornstarch before placing them in the basket.
  • Air crisp the coated wings for about 30-35 minutes, flipping or shaking the basket halfway through.

Serve and Garnish:

  • Once the chicken wings are golden brown and crispy, remove them from the Ninja Foodi.
  • If desired, garnish the wings with freshly chopped parsley or cilantro for a burst of freshness.

Sauce (Optional):

  • If you're using a sauce, you can toss the cooked wings in the sauce in a large bowl for even coverage.

Enjoy:

  • Serve the Ninja Foodi chicken wings immediately while they're still hot and crispy.
  • Pair them with your favorite dipping sauces and enjoy!

Equipment

  • Ninja Foodi, or Ninja Foodi XL Grill
  • Cooking Spray, or Olive OIl Spray
  • Parchment Paper, optional

Notes

The cooking time for chicken wings in a Ninja Air Fryer can vary based on factors such as the size of the wings, the temperature setting, and your desired level of crispiness. However, as a general guideline, you can follow these time ranges:
  • For fresh or thawed chicken wings at 375°F (190°C), it typically takes about 25-30 minutes. Remember to flip or shake the basket halfway through for even cooking.
  • If you're cooking frozen chicken wings, it might take a bit longer, around 30-35 minutes at the same temperature. Again, flipping or shaking the basket halfway through is important.
To ensure that your chicken wings are cooked to perfection, with a crispy exterior and a safe internal temperature, it's recommended to use a meat thermometer. The internal temperature of the wings should reach at least 165°F (74°C) to ensure they are safe to eat.
Keep in mind that these are general time ranges and actual cooking times might vary. It's always a good idea to monitor the wings as they cook and adjust the time accordingly based on how they look and your personal preferences for crispiness.
