How to Make Seasoned Chicken Thighs for Two in a Ninja Foodi Using the Air Crisp Function
Aunt Lou here.
This Ninja Foodi Seasoned Chicken Thighs for Two just uses one seasoning, but it is definitely not lacking in flavor. When Michael tried this, he was shocked when I told him how I made it. I believe his exact words were, “This chicken is this flavorful with just seasoning salt?!” Not only is this recipe amazing, it is also low carb.
The thighs in my pack were all quite large, except two. I tried this recipe with the two that weren’t extra large and with two of the extra large ones. Your cooking time will vary depending on the size of chicken thighs you are cooking.
(Psst…if this recipe looks good to you, but you need more than two servings, you can find the original recipe here.)
