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.)

General Notes

  • The 1/2 cup of water is poured in the Ninja Foodi or Air Fryer unitโ€™s insert, underneath the basket, to help prevent smoking while cooking.
  • 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.
