I bought the Ninja Foodi Indoor Grill & Air Fryer. Initial run was fantastic. Food on the grill and in the fryer turned out better than barbecued and deep fried and all done indoors. Virtually smoke-free.

Air-Fried Chicken Thighs
Â
2 lbs. chicken thighs, bone-in and skin-on (about 4 pieces)
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Kosher salt and fresh-ground pepper, to taste
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce or soy sauce
1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
Â
Place chicken thighs in a large sealable Ziploc bag. Add oil, vinegar and all seasoning. Seal the bag and shake well. Press the air out of the bag and make sure it’s tightly sealed. Press the seasoning around the chicken to coat. Place in the refrigerator and marinate for at least 1 hour.
Preheat the air fryer to 375. Place four thighs at a time (skin side up) in a single layer in the air fryer basket and cook for 25-28 minutes until the skin turns crispy and golden brown. The internal temperature for the chicken should reach 165. Keep warm in a 250 oven until serving.
Serve with your favorite side dish or veggies like Air Fryer Garlic Green Beans, or Air Fryer Broccoli.
