How to Make Brown Sugar Bacon Chicken in a Ninja Foodi Air Fryer

Aunt Lou here.

I kind of already knew that my family would love this Air Fryer Brown Sugar Bacon Chicken Ninja Foodi recipe. You see, I have tried out this recipe as a crock pot recipe (you can find it here) and as an oven recipe (you can find that recipe here). Everyone loved it both times I have made it before. I could have stopped with just those two recipes, but we often have requests from readers for more ways to make recipes, and I love having options. I love how quick this recipe comes together. It is great for a night when you need a quick dinner.

While you don’t have to use a silicone liner on your crisper plate, I highly recommend them. I use them all the time. They are reusable and make cleaning up my Ninja Foodi so much easier. The liners themselves are super easy to wash either by hand, or you can throw them in the dishwasher. I’m all for things that make life a little easier.

General Notes

  • Looking for more recipes? Our Recipe Finder can help you find exactly what you need.
  • Check out all our favorite recommendations for cookbooks, slow cookers and low carb essentials in our Amazon Influencer Shop.
  • As with any of our recipes, carb counts, calorie counts and nutritional information varies greatly. As a result, your nutritional content depends on which products you choose to use when cooking this dish. The auto-calculation is just an automated estimate and should NOT be used for specific dietary needs.
  • Finally, all air fryers cook differently, so cooking times are always a basic guideline. Recipes should always be tested first in your own air fryer and time adjusted as needed.

Ingredients

  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs trimmed
  • 1/2 lb bacon divided
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar packed, divided

Instructions

  • Trim your chicken thighs.
  • Place your Air Crisp plate in your insert and, if desired, place your silicone liner on top of the Air Crisp plate. Preheat your Ninja Foodi on Air Crisp (or your Air Fryer) for 3 minutes at 380 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • While your Foodi is preheating, wrap each chicken thigh with 2 slices of bacon.
  • Carefully place your chicken thighs on the air crisp plate, being careful to not touch the edges or the plate.
  • Sprinkle 1/4 cup of brown sugar on top of your bacon wrapped chicken thighs.
  • Close the lid, press the Air Crisp button, set the temperature to 380 degrees, set the time to 10 minutes and press start.
  • Use tongs to flip your chicken, sprinkle remaining 1/4 cup brown sugar on top of your chicken thighs.
  • Close your lid, press the Air Crisp button, set the temperature to 370 degrees, set the time to 10 minutes and press start. After 10 minutes, check with a meat thermometer and do an additional minute or two at 370 if the middle of your chicken has not reached at least 165 degrees.
