When we first got our Ninja Woodfire Outdoor Grill, we were really excited to try smoking a whole chicken on it. Making a whole chicken on a pellet grill or electric smoker is pretty easy, but it takes quite a while to cook it that way in order to infuse it with all that delicious smoky flavor.
We’ve made this whole chicken on the Woodfire Grill so many times now, because it always turns out great. You really can’t beat it because of the wonderful smokiness and tenderness of the meat with very little intervention from you. If you love this chicken you read should try our Ninja Woodfire Grill smoked duck.

Ninja Woodfire Outdoor Grill
For this recipe, I used my Ninja Woodfire Outdoor Grill, which is a new offering from the kitchen appliance brand that makes our beloved favorites, the Ninja MaxXL Air Fryer and the Ninja Creami. The Woodfire Grill is a portable outdoor grill with 7 functions: grill, smoke, air fry, bake, roast, broil, and dehydrate.
Why I Like It
- It imparts an amazing amount of woodfire flavor into the food with just 1/2 cup of pellets.
- It’s incredibly fast and efficient.
- It cooks faster and with more smoker flavor than my full-size smoker – by far.
- There’s no guessing, especially with the built-in temperature probe available on the Pro version.
- The food comes out with a perfect crispy or seared exterior that’s both gorgeous and super tasty.
- It’s very portable and can be set up anywhere on a sturdy surface with a power outlet nearby.

Ninja Woodfire Grill Smoked Chicken
Ingredients
