I recently purchased the Ninja Foodi Smart Grill to use as an indoor grill. One of its other functions is an air-crisp feature (same as an air fryer), but I already had an air fryer that I liked, so I’d dismissed this feature on the new grill.
However, I gave it a second look after spotting a recipe for spicy buttermilk ranch chicken in the cooking instruction booklet that came with the grill. It sounded much like “hot chicken,” a type of fried chicken unique to Nashville, Tenn., that’s spiced with cayenne pepper and quite wonderful.
So I gave the recipe a try and found that Ninja’s air-crisp feature works really well.
