You can also use chicken legs instead, or turkey drumsticks. Or another great option is to use frozen chicken in your Ninja Foodi. Because meat cooked from frozen only needs slightly longer, I recommend you use slightly smaller meat.Īs we are using medium to large chicken thighs, opt for frozen small to medium chicken thighs or use boneless thighs. In this chicken and rice ninja foodi recipe we are using brown rice. Not only is it healthier than white rice, but it has a longer cook time. This helps get the cook times spot on and ensures that the rice is not overcooked. Rice – Quality brown rice makes such a big difference to this recipe. I recommend this brown rice, which you can buy in bulk and is one we love.

Plus, because it’s a good size bag it will do several batches of chicken and rice.Ĭhicken – We used medium to large sized skin on, bone in, chicken thighs. Because it is a longer cooking chicken, it is ideal for being ready at the same time as the rice. You will also love the way the chicken sinks into the rice as it cooks making your rice more flavoursome. Stock – You can use any water or stock when cooking chicken and rice. But I recommend for the Mediterranean flavours to start with chicken stock and then add extras to the liquid. Then you are combing stock and seasoning and it will give your rice the wow factor. Seasoning – I also recommend seasoning your chicken thighs with Mediterranean flavours and then air frying them for a little first. This will ensure your chicken is flavoursome and never boring. Or if you don’t want to go Mediterranean you can swap the seasoning for cajun and make cajun ninja chicken and rice. Then for the kitchen gadgets that we have used in this Ninja Foodi recipe, it has just been our Ninja Foodi. We have this one and its wonderful for going from the pressure cooker to the air fryer at the flick of a switch like we have done in this chicken and rice recipe.
