Cooking Chicken In Ninja Foodi

I received a Ninja Foodi Air Fryer Oven for Christmas from my daycare parents and it's been a game-changer for making recipes for chicken in the kitchen!

I have used it nearly every day since the glorious day it was gifted to me. My daycare parents are the greatest! I was overwhelmed they bought it for me even before I knew it was a miracle machine. I have probably turned my regular oven on 3 times since then and I used to use it daily.

Find air fryer recipes for everything here.

It's going to be super great this summer when it doesn't heat the entire house up like the regular oven does. It cooks everything faster, easier, and crispier. I can even cook 9 pieces, that's right, 9 pieces of toast at once. Since there are 9 of us, 7 daycare kids and my husband and I, that's a huge help for me.

I've collected all the best air fryer recipes for you to make the most of your air fryer in these posts.
