Ingredients 

  • 2-5 pounds whole chicken
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 teaspoons garlic, minced
  • 4 sprigs thyme, diced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large lemon, quartered
  • 2 tablespoons honey

Instructions

  • Start by cleaning your chicken, remove the package of heart/gizzards, liver, etc. and run water through it, until it comes out clean.
  • In a small bowl, mix garlic, cayenne pepper, smoked paprika, onion, salt and pepper. Transfer mix on the whole chicken with garlic, thyme and oil. Rub and season the chicken on, under the skin and the cavity with the help of your fingers. Place lemon in the cavity.
  • Pour 1 cup of water into the Ninja Foodi, if it does not have water, it will not come to pressure. Put your chicken into the Ninja Foodi Basket, breast side down, and lock that into the pressure cooker.
  • Use the Pressure cooker lid, and set the time for 25 minutes. (HIGH) Make sure that the vent is in the sealed position.  Press the start button. Let the pressure naturally release, then add more of the rub, the olive oil, and honey to the chicken, and put the air fryer lid on. Set for another 10 minutes. When the chicken is done, remove it and let sit, as the juices will distribute through the chicken, as you allow it to cool down
