RECIPE FOR CRISPY CHICKEN WINGS IN NINJA MULTI COOKER

Preparing crispy chicken wings in your Ninja Multi-Cooker is straightforward and yields delicious results. Here’s a simple recipe to guide you:

Ingredients:

  • 2 pounds (approximately 907g) of chicken wings
  • 1 tablespoon canola oil
  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • Optional: 1 teaspoon baking powder (for extra crispiness)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the Ninja Multi-Cooker:
    • Insert the crisper plate into the basket and place the basket into the unit.
    • Select the ‘Air Fry’ function, set the temperature to 390°F (200°C), and set the time to 3 minutes.
    • Press ‘Start/Stop’ to begin preheating.
  3. Prepare the Chicken Wings:
    • While the unit is preheating, pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
    • In a large bowl, toss the wings with canola oil, kosher salt, black pepper, and baking powder (if using). Ensure the wings are evenly coated.
  5. Cook the Wings:
    • Once the unit has preheated, place the seasoned wings onto the crisper plate in a single layer.
    • Reinsert the basket into the unit.
    • Select the ‘Air Fry’ function, set the temperature to 390°F (200°C), and set the time to 24 minutes.
    • Press ‘Start/Stop’ to begin cooking.
  7. Flip the Wings:
    • After 12 minutes, open the unit and use silicone-tipped tongs to toss or flip the wings to ensure even cooking.
    • Reinsert the basket to resume cooking.
  9. Finish and Serve:
    • Once the cooking cycle is complete, check the internal temperature of the wings; it should reach 165°F (74°C).
    • Carefully remove the wings from the basket.
    • Serve immediately with your choice of dipping sauces.

Tips:

  • For extra crispiness, consider adding 1 teaspoon of baking powder per pound of chicken wings. This helps to achieve a crispier texture.
  • Ensure the wings are arranged in a single layer without overlapping to allow proper air circulation, which contributes to even cooking and crispiness.
  • If you prefer a spicier kick, you can toss the cooked wings in your favourite hot sauce or seasoning blend.
  • For a more flavourful experience, marinate the wings in your preferred sauce or seasoning for at least 30 minutes before cooking.

Enjoy your homemade crispy chicken wings!
