Tried this chicken recipe tonite for the first time,and I was mightily impressed with the crispy skin and juicy interior. One thing you might want to change is how you put the dry ingredients together. I save my bread bags,and shake out any crumbs. I use the bags to contain the flour and seasonings so you can just shake the dry stuff to mix it up,and then put the chicken in the bag and shake to coat. Best part is you toss the bag after,saving getting flour all over your counter.
Ordered a Speedi an hour ago because my youngest boy is so fussy with his chicken - he wants it moist and then crispy on the outside. He has tried to cook the conventional way but he gets upset because it doesn't work out. I am nearly turning 60 and I'm fed up with cooking all the time so I'm hoping this will help my youngest cook the chicken of his dreams! Thank you James for explaining so well how to cook with the Ninja Speedi. Although it is a present for my youngest .... secretly I'll be itching to use it too! I'll let you know how we get on ...
Sounds yummy😋😋😋 i just started following you😉 I'm gonna make this 1 day & post it along with my other recipe videos and tag you in it when I do! This looks delicious😋
Looks fantastic!!! Just a hint - try putting the flour in a brown paper bag then put in the chicken then shake it up, and throw the bag away (old timey idea and works great), but hardly any flour mess and no extra dishes. BTW: brown paper bags are at Aldi's. You have great videos on the Ninja Speedi. Just got mine yesterday.
Hi… I just subscribed a few days ago. I just got a ninja speedi air fryer and was looking for videos on how to use it and I found you. I can’t wait to try some of your recipes. I watch about 3/4 of you videos and I’m liking how you are very detailed on how you make your meal step by step. When I do I will come back and comment on each recipe that I try. Thank you 😊
Happy holidays 🎄James! I have cooked chicken already in the ninja and you’re 100% right it crisps up perfect. Thanks for the great videos hope you have some more ideas coming soon! Cheers🍻☃️
Hi, just wanted to Thank you for such a great recipe with easy instructions. The chicken came out great, crispy on the outside and tender and juicy inside. Look forward to watching all your videos for the speedi!
Am in the UK. Don’t have the steam and crisp option but do have steam air fry and steam bake. Which do I choose? Love your channel incidentally and have used loads of your recipes. Thank you
James, I've only seen a couple of your videos, but the rest are on my immediate to do list! This chicken looks so appetizing, I must try it soon. I have a question about wings. I bought a huge bag of wings, but I wonder about the timing. There's much less flesh on wings than on thighs. Is the timing the same or less? I may not be able to wait for your answer, as I am totally inspired by you to cook them in my Speedi! Thank you for your videos. They are clear and educational. I appreciate them!
Hi James, I just ordered my speedi I’m excited to start using it once it arrives, I’ve been watching all of your cooking videos with the speedi, please continue to make recipes with the speedi for us 🙏!
Hello I must thank you again! I just made the Fried Chicken according to instructions except on gluten-free, so I use potato flakes instead and it came out freaking awesome! Keep up the great videos
It was really good. I need to put more seasoning on the chicken before putting the flour mixture on it. Other than that it was good. I liked how it was crispy like regular fried chicken.
I was going to comment that you continue to amaze me, but since everything I have tried from your videos has been awesome, I am now a convert, amazement no longer fits 😎...the only thing I did differently was to use 4 separate seasonings to test to see what I might want to do going forward, and since I try to eat low carb, one of them was crushed pork rinds, as well as Old Bay, Montreal Chicken, and salt, pepper, and paprika...all were great following your video 😋
I tried this chicken and came out amazing. However, at the 15 minute mark when I tried to turn over it was stuck to my air fryer rack. Some of the crunchy stuff was gone with the rack 😢 I did spray some olive oil on both rack and chicken before I started. Could that be an issue?
I have tried this recipe yesterday it was amazing it will be my go to recipe from now on - My husband loved it and I love the Ninja Speedi -Thank you James and Happy New Year
Nice chicken James, very true you do not need to add oil to the chicken if you have skin on the chicken. I know it may not sound good but you can also coat your chicken with either mustard or mayo before you flour it. Trust me the flavor is amazing.
i just bought a speedi, never used an airfryer... i once read where flour would be blown around by fan... were they wrong? i subscribed, you explain things to make it easy for me
Hey quick question you said to set it to “steam and bake” but it looks on the machine like it’s “steam and crisp” - could you confirm? Looking to try this tonight!
Hello there James; for the Fried Chicken Can I also use bone in Chicken Breast on the Ninja? My likes the Drumsticks, but my two sisters like the Chicken Breast. Please give me your instructions. Thank you. Tim Williams 🙏🏾
The chicken looks so good & I an sure it was delicious. I know by mistake you said steam & bake but corrected it to steam & crisp. However I am wondering have you ever did chicken by using the steam & bake function instead of steam & crisp & how did it taste ? thank you.
One question please. I know you’re not air frying technically but doing steam and crisp, but when air frying breaded stuff I usually stray some oil on the breading for added crispness. What’s your thought using a spray with steam and crisp?
Hi I'm new to the Speedi and to cooking in general. I had a (possibly stupid) question. Recipe looks great, but is it possible to cook both the fried chicken and rice or veg at the same time on the Speedi?
Hi James, like many others, I really appreciate your videos. If it weren't for you, my Speedi would still be sitting on my countertop in the 'out-of-the-box' condition. My question is this, is adding 1 cup of water enough? I find that usually the water is completely evaporated and there are bits stuck on the bottom (although clean up is usually quick and easy). Is it OK to add say 1 1/2 cups of water? Thanks James!
I have a Ninja 3-1 cooking system, it does not have the setting on front like your unit. I'd like to cook drumstick like they were deep fried can I do that with my system?
Looks some fine eating there! I'd add a tsp cayenne pepper to that spice mix for my taste and it'd be a perfect combo kick. But I've never seen that ninja device before like that and I must say it's an amazing unit! Now I must have one. LoL Thanks for the ninja demo and recipe, that chicken looked almost as good as real fried chicken and a much healthier alt, I'm sure.
Hey James, I am going to use bone in chicken breast. You didn’t mention chicken breast; however I’m going to give it a try. Those thighs look delicious. I’ll let you know how they come out. This will be my first time using the Ninja Speedi. Thank you 😊

The Speedi makes the best chicken ever! It's always juicy on the inside and crispy on the outside. Love my Speedi!!
Awesome. I agree

My pleasure 😊

Thanks Mickey. I used to use brown paper bags. Can’t find em anymore
@@CookinWithJames The only place I have access to them is at Aldi's. Is there one near you?
No
ziplock bags work fine too
Lol brown bags are at most stores now
Just bought my aunt a speedi early for Christmas. She loves it. Was hoping to see how a good ol pork chop turns out in the speedi
I am doing pork chops in one of my next videos

Love this chicken. I like that there’s no messy clean up and the chicken is so moist. Keep sending up Speedi meals😊
You got it. Thanks so much!
I am making your fried chicken tomorrow. I can’t wait. Hearing the crunch on the chicken sounded delicious. Can’t wait.
Hope you enjoy
Hi, just wanted to Thank you for such a great recipe with easy instructions. The chicken came out great, crispy on the outside and tender and juicy inside. Look forward to watching all your videos for the speedi!
Awesome thanks so much I appreciate it
The speedi is magic!
Ya. I love it
Oh yum! My mouth is watering…😋
Looks delicious. I am definitely going to try this. I live my ninja speedi. Keep the videos coming
Will do. Thanks
I just purchased my ninja speedi and tried this chicken first and it was amazing. Chicken turned out exactly like you said it would.
Thanks so much for watching. Happy holidays
Great video! Thanks for the tip of flipping the chicken thighs around mid time. That was the key thing for making it tender-crisp on both sides.
You got it. Thanks for watching
Am in the UK. Don’t have the steam and crisp option but do have steam air fry and steam bake. Which do I choose? Love your channel incidentally and have used loads of your recipes. Thank you

Awesome! Thank you! I got another video coming out in about 20 minutes. loaded baked potatoes. so good.
Love your videos.
Thanks so much! I appreciate it
Amazing thank you !
Please do a video on steaming vegetables and baked potatoes.
Hello I must thank you again! I just made the Fried Chicken according to instructions except on gluten-free, so I use potato flakes instead and it came out freaking awesome! Keep up the great videos
Wonderful! Thanks 😊
I have been using your recipes
Making this for dinner tonight!
You will love it. Tell me what you think
It was really good. I need to put more seasoning on the chicken before putting the flour mixture on it. Other than that it was good. I liked how it was crispy like regular fried chicken.
Thanks so much. Glad you enjoyed it
Do you have to add water and what's the difference from using rapid cook vs air fryer
I was going to comment that you continue to amaze me, but since everything I have tried from your videos has been awesome, I am now a convert, amazement no longer fits 😎...the only thing I did differently was to use 4 separate seasonings to test to see what I might want to do going forward, and since I try to eat low carb, one of them was crushed pork rinds, as well as Old Bay, Montreal Chicken, and salt, pepper, and paprika...all were great following your video 😋
Thanks for sharing Jim!
Delicious 😋 😊
Thanks!
Does this recipe apply to bone in chicken breasts with skin? That is the kind of chicken I like best. Thanks!
thank you for your videos! can I do this without the breading? just oil and seasoning? or do I place the rack higher with less time?
You can do it without breading
I tried this chicken and came out amazing. However, at the 15 minute mark when I tried to turn over it was stuck to my air fryer rack. Some of the crunchy stuff was gone with the rack 😢 I did spray some olive oil on both rack and chicken before I started. Could that be an issue?
Will this work in the XL pro grill/griddle?
I have tried this recipe yesterday it was amazing it will be my go to recipe from now on - My husband loved it and I love the Ninja Speedi -Thank you James and Happy New Year
My pleasure 😊
Happy new year
Loved this video. Would this same concept work for pork chops? The steam and crisp with water and coated in flour?
Yes it will
@@CookinWithJames Can you do a video with pork chops… videos are awesome
@@toniamm I already did one. It's on my channel
Hello, can you cook fries and chicken at the same time?
Nice chicken James, very true you do not need to add oil to the chicken if you have skin on the chicken. I know it may not sound good but you can also coat your chicken with either mustard or mayo before you flour it. Trust me the flavor is amazing.
No. I've tried both. Not in the ninja but other ways. Both are good for sure. Happy holidays
What if you ditched the wheat flour and used corn starch (like Chinese cooking)? Even dipping pieces into a corn starch slurry?
i just bought a speedi, never used an airfryer... i once read where flour would be blown around by fan... were they wrong? i subscribed, you explain things to make it easy for me
Hey quick question you said to set it to “steam and bake” but it looks on the machine like it’s “steam and crisp” - could you confirm? Looking to try this tonight!
can you still make that in the Ninja Foodi Smart XL 6-in-1 Indoor Grill ?
You could put your cup of water in the microwave till it boils,and pour that in the Speedi,which should get the cooking started faster.
Could you have cooked rice underneath and chicken at the higher level?
Looks good jimmy boy.
Thanks so much
Hello there James; for the Fried Chicken Can I also use bone in Chicken Breast on the Ninja? My likes the Drumsticks, but my two sisters like the Chicken Breast. Please give me your instructions. Thank you.
Tim Williams 🙏🏾
Yes you can. I just haven’t done it yet. I would think it would only take 15 minutes though. Not sure. U just have to make sure it gets to 165 degrees
@@CookinWithJames Thank you James and God you! 🙏🏾🎉🎄
I meant God bless you. I kinda got excited! .please forgive me.
I figured. Lol
The chicken looks so good & I an sure it was delicious. I know by mistake you said steam & bake but corrected it to steam & crisp. However I am wondering have you ever did chicken by using the steam & bake function instead of steam & crisp & how did it taste ? thank you.
Ya. Steam and bake steams for about 20 minutes before it starts baking. So it’s not as good
One question please. I know you’re not air frying technically but doing steam and crisp, but when air frying breaded stuff I usually stray some oil on the breading for added crispness. What’s your thought using a spray with steam and crisp?
The water wets the flour. Then the heating element crisps it all
Hi I'm new to the Speedi and to cooking in general. I had a (possibly stupid) question. Recipe looks great, but is it possible to cook both the fried chicken and rice or veg at the same time on the Speedi?
Yes, absolutely. I have a video on it
James, I have boneless skinless chicken thighs I want to cook. Would I follow your instructions, just cutting back on the time in the Speedi?
Awesome!
Will ninja Foodi do the same job to the chicken?
Hi James, like many others, I really appreciate your videos. If it weren't for you, my Speedi would still be sitting on my countertop in the 'out-of-the-box' condition.

Thanks so much. Honestly I’ve never tried more than a cup. If you try it let me know what u think!
👏❤️🌸👍⭐️
I have a Ninja 3-1 cooking system, it does not have the setting on front like your unit. I'd like to cook drumstick like they were deep fried can I do that with my system?
Ya but u need some oil spray. Check out my chicken on other videos. Power air fryer pro or elite
@@CookinWithJames THank you James, I will take a look.
I tried the Speedi Steam and Crisp recipe but adjusted my time to 26 minutes with 4 good sized thighs and it came out great.
Sweet. Thanks for sharing
Can I make it but in 10 minutes with a cup of broccoli ?
Maybe 5 minutes left. I'm not sure. Give it a shot
steam and crisp or steam and bake?
Steam and crisp
Looks some fine eating there! I'd add a tsp cayenne pepper to that spice mix for my taste and it'd be a perfect combo kick. But I've never seen that ninja device before like that and I must say it's an amazing unit! Now I must have one. LoL Thanks for the ninja demo and recipe, that chicken looked almost as good as real fried chicken and a much healthier alt, I'm sure.
Ya. I should’ve added that. This cooker is awesome. Happy holidays
made my first meal with this machine..love it..can you do chicken breasts instead of thighs?
am wondering the same....'course it would be white meat & time may vary...hope James
will tell us or do breasts one day... :)
Yes. But time will be different. Maybe next vid i will do
@@CookinWithJames Would enjoy that very much !! Please :)
@@CookinWithJames thanks for the chicken breast vidoe..now my next question..can I cook 1 breast (a big one) and a thigh leg and wing together?
Absolutely
Can we do this with chicken breast?
Ya. Same way
It won't over cook it or dry it out?
Bone in or boneless?
Boneless skinless and flattened....
No. They will be dry
Hey James, I am going to use bone in chicken breast. You didn’t mention chicken breast; however I’m going to give it a try. Those thighs look delicious. I’ll let you know how they come out. This will be my first time using the Ninja Speedi. Thank you 😊
JAMES - do not understand how you figure the time, thanks for yoou.
Hi James. Wow this looks amazing 🤩 can you do chicken breast? 😬😬😬
I've not tried breasts
@@CookinWithJames thanks James hope you will 😬😬 my kids love chicken breast. This will be good to make.
Get A food thermometer....
Why can't use skin-on chicken breast?
Takes too long to crisp. Over cook the breast
I don’t have steam crisp, I have steam air fry
Have you tried a boneless skinless chicken breast? That's all I have on hand. 😊
Μολις το πείρα εκανα την πιο ζουμερή μπριζόλα και τις πιο τραγανές πατατες ❤❤❤
Chickens call for the banning of Ninja Speedi.
I guess you really do need to use the egg wash to get a crispy and flaky chicken.
