I dipped chicken breast into an egg wash, then bread crumbs, garlic powder, pepper, salt. 400 degrees for 20 minutes turning over half way. It was amazing.

I got the type that fits on a 6-quart instant pot.
So far, so good. Crisps up leftover fried chicken way better than the oven. Great for frozen foods (fries, corn dogs, fish, chicken nuggets). Also works great for crisping up foods that you just cooked in the instant pot (ribs, chicken breasts, sausage). Frying pot is small, so works for me, but not ideal for a family. |

Wings are still the best thing I've done in mine. Recently I cooked a couple of Cornish game hens in it, they turned out awesome.

I have the original Foodi and the Foodi Grill. I have not used my regular oven in over 2 years and I rarely use the microwave. I also don't waste near as much food as I used to. Lemme explain...I'm a single dude, so when I put meat in the freezer, I used to end up throwing it away a couple years down the road because I never could remember to set it out to thaw. With the foodi and foodi grill, you can cook from frozen to ready to eat in like 20 min. I absolutely love the both of them. Also, re-heating stuff like pizza is easier and tastes a shit-ton better than using the microwave.

My mom gifted me one. I absolutely love it! Broccoli, Brussels sprouts, asparagus, biscuits, pork chops, fries, etc, etc. I use it probably 3 times a week and it's become my favorite appliance.

Just got a Ninja Foodi for Xmas, what are some things I need to try first?
Also, can you do frozen wings? Or do they need tone thawed first? |

I've done both ways not much difference other than time. Honestly, a couple of minutes on defrost in the microwave will save you some time in the air fryer.

The key is thickness, particularly with meats/proteins. Wings and bone-in pork chops are usually fine freezer-->done in the fryer, same for a hamburger if you like it med-rare in the middle. Something like big chicken breasts or center-cut thick pork chops need a defrost at the beginning or a heat up at the end or it'll be done on the outside and still lukewarm in the middle. Air fryer and microwave are a good combo, because air fryers crisp quickly and efficiently, and microwaves heat all-over quickly and efficiently. So you can kind of fine tune how much time you spend heating the inside or crisping the outside. Also, a probe thermo is useful for thick meats. I regularly find those long pork tenderloin products [sometimes marinated, sometimes bacon-wrapped, etc] as a good deal, then I section them at 1" thick planks, enough for a single serving. Since I section them frozen, they keep their portion of the bacon or marinade with each serving. Then I jab the probe in and air-fry along with some form of potatoes or squash or asparagus etc, next to it on the rack [in oven bags to keep the butter/spices from making a mess]. When the probe hits safe for pork level ~145, most everything is done to perfection. Thicker than 7/8-1" on pork loin frozen, and you'll need to microwave a minute or two at the end to make sure the inside is temp-safe. Last edited by Baby Lee; 01-01-2021 at 04:10 PM.. |

I also tried a mini red baron frozen pizza (for dinner, separate meal lmao) and that worked out surprisingly well. Good call on that one!

Just tried hot pockets in it. Pretty underwhelming tbh... but it's probably more due to hot pockets just aren't that good.
