Made these today for my 1st Ninja cook. Only took about 11 mins total. Great flavor! One minor mistake I made is that they went from a temp of 140 to 180 extremely quickly and I over cooked them slightly. I'll check sooner next time.

I'm not sure how you made these work using the high setting. I made these last night and cook it on high as you stated and within five minutes the grill marks were extremely burnt so I turned it down to medium after that for the rest of the cook. I cooked them to an internal temperature of 160. And then let them rest in tinfoil for 10 minutes. At the end of 10 minutes on covered them and there was a whole ton of juice drained out of the chicken laying in the bottom. When I cut into the chicken to eat it it was dried out. All the juices for some reason just drained out of the chicken when I let it rest. The flavor was good but very dry. Others on a ninja Woodfire Facebook group has stated they never use the highest setting unless they are searing a steak. Chicken and pork end in dry tough meat if you use high. Not trying to knock you, love your videos, just giving insight on what happened for me.

Hey CJ, can you do some eggs for making smoked deviled eggs? I can't find Anything for the Ninja and with eggs, you can't temp check

Completely agree with you about cooking to internal temperature, but that’s not so simple with items of irregular thickness, such as many chicken breasts. The thinner edges get overdone and dry by the time that plumb center section reaches temp. Meathead Goldwyn’s bbq book recommends pounding down that center with a heavy skillet just enough to get the thickness more uniform, which makes sense. Yours looked pretty even to begin with! Did you do anything to prep the shape? They grilled up beautifully and looked plenty juicy! And I just got my Lightning based on your recommendation and it everything an instant read ought to be! The only problem is that my husband is fascinated with checking the temperatures in various rooms of the house so it might not be on the fridge where I stuck it lol! Thanks for all the work you put into these immensely helpful videos!

@CookingWithCJ

Жыл бұрын

Thank you! No I didn’t do anything to change the shape. I get pounding them out evenly. But most people just want to throw them on the grill and get’em done. If you stick to the 160f pull temp, you’ll pretty much be good to go all over.

This guy just keeps opening the grill smh thats not how your supposed to use a grill, maybe open it once or twice but damn

Hey man your videos are great and I really enjoy watching all the different things you cook. I just got the Ninja Woodfire XL Pro and I was reading in the manual where it says you can cook with the lid open. I thought this was great so I ordered the griddle plate so I could make eggs and bacon etc... But when I left the lid opened it did not start counting down after 30 seconds like the manual says. So I contacted tech support and was told the manual has a mistake in it and you cannot cook with the lid open nor can I cook eggs in it. Can you please do a video of you cooking eggs in yours if you havent already. I am not sure why I was told you cant cook eggs but thats what tech support said. I said if there is heat, they will cook, just maybe really fast...lol Thanks
