Drums & Thighs. ( 1st in Ninja—Oil-Free)

Drums & Thighs. ( 1st in Ninja—Oil-Free)​

This Newest Toy makes Great food, but really outdoes itself when it comes to Chicken Parts, with or without Bones.

So this time it’s 4 Drums & 3 Thighs that I sprinkled some CBP, Garlic Powder, Onion Powder, and Paprika on before Refrigerating for a few hours.
Then I plugged in the Ninja, set it on “Air Fryer”, and set it on 390° for 30 minutes.
Then after 10 minutes I flipped them all and sauced both sides.
After another 8 minutes, flipped them all again & sauced the top side.
After 4 more minutes they were all over 180°, and had nice color, so I shut it down.
The Drums got Mrs Bear’s BBQ Sauce, and the Thighs got Jeff’s BBQ Sauce.
The first Night’s Supper had Peas on the side, and Mashed Taters with Cream of Chicken Soup for Gravy.

The Second Night’s Supper had a cut up Thigh & a Drum, with Spanish Rice on the side.

The flavors we get from things made in this thing are Amazing!


Thanks for stopping by.

Looks real good John. You're really getting great use out of that Ninja. I'm still earning my keep in order to get one over the Summer, LOL. Chicken looks perfectly cooked and juicy. Great work, and write ups, as always. Thanks.

Haven't pulled the trigger yet, but the pics are sure tempting me. (It's not just $, it's also counter space I need to save.)
So pardon what are probably stupid questions...

So do you dial in a temperature with these? Or is it a lo, med, hi kind of control? Or do they have a pre-set temp for browning (given the Maillard Chemical Reaction & all that) and so it's just a matter of the time you set?

With this "Ninja Smart Grill", there are basically two ways to control Heat & Time.
I like the way that is just Set it for Temp & Time, and once you know how long it takes you just check it & make sure it's right, and you're done.

The other way is using the "Smart" sensor:
So let's say We like our Steaks at 140° IT, so I put the Smart Sensor in the Steak, and set it for "Grill", "#6", "126°", and close the Lid.
Then when it gets to 108° IT, the Ninja says "FLIP FOOD".
So I flip the Steak.
Then when it gets to 126° IT, the Ninja says "REST".
So I remove the steak, and put it on a plate, with the Sensor still in.
Then after 5 minutes of resting, the IT went from 126° to 140°, and it said "END".
That 140° was exactly the way we like it, which is Pink from Bark to Bark, without a lot of blood oozing out.
This thing is Awesome!!

Thank You Mike!!
When You get one, I'll have something for you.
I'm working on a list of everything I've made in this Ninja.
It will have all the settings I used that worked the best for me, on everything I've made. Things like whether to set it on Grill, Air Fry, Bake, etc, etc, also Temp, Set Time, When & If to Flip, etc, etc.
I don't have a whole lot of them yet, but I'm working on it.
And Thanks for the Like, Mike.

That's great, I appreciate it a lot. Now the pressure is on me to behave long enough to get it, sooner than later.
