Ingredients

  • 4–5 - Roasting Chicken
  • 2 Tsps - Salt
  • 1 Tsp - Black Pepper
  • 1 Tsp - Paprika
  • 1 Tsp - Onion Powder
  • 1 Tsp - Dried Oregano

  • ½ Tsps - Garlic Powder
  • ¼ Tsps - Cayenne Pepper
  • 2 Tbsps - Canola or Vegetable Oil
  • 1 Cup - Chicken Broth
  • 1 - Lemon
  • 1 - White Onion

Instructions

  1. Clean chicken, pat dry with a paper towel, and set aside.
  2. In a small bowl, combine seasonings.
  3. Sprinkle seasoning mixture over chicken and cavity.
  4. Stuff the cavity with lemon and onion.
  5. Set the Ninja Foodi to the high saute setting.
  6. Add oil to the pot.
  7. Lay the chicken breast side down and cook until golden brown.
  8. Turn chicken over and continue cooking for 3-4 minutes or until golden brown.
  9. Remove the chicken and set aside.
  10. Place the wire rack into the pot with the handles up, add the chicken broth.
  11. Place the chicken on top of the rack.
  12. Select pressure function for high to 6 minutes per pound (24-30 Minutes).
  13. When the timer goes off, let the pressure naturally release (do nothing) for 20 minutes.
  14. Once that is up, release the rest of the pressure and let the chicken rest for 15 minutes before cutting it.
  15. At this point - if you want it more crispy, set the function to broil for 5 minutes at 450 degrees, if it's to your liking skip this step.
  16. Serve immediately.
  17. Store leftovers in the fridge.
