Equipment

  • Ninja Woodfire Grill
  • Wood pellets
  • Meat thermometer

Ingredients

  • 3-5 pound whole chicken
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Pat dry the chicken with a paper towel.
  • Mix together all spices and season the chicken all over.
  • Fill the pellet basket with pellets.
  • Place the chicken, breast side up, on the grill.
  • Insert a meat probe in the thickest part of the breast.
  • Close the door. Set the dial to Smoker. Set the temperature to 350°F. If you have the Ninja Woodfire Pro, you can use the built-in temperature probe to monitor the meat temperature, so set it to 165°F. The machine will turn off when the meat reaches that temperature.
  • If you don't have the Pro, you should set the timer for 1 hour of cook time and then about 15 minutes before, start to check it with an instant read digital meat thermometer.
  • Select START/STOP to begin cooking.
  • When the chicken is at 165°F, remove it from the grill and rest for 15-20 minutes before carving.

Notes

  • This recipe makes one whole chicken.
