How I Use the Spicy Dry Rub

I like to use this spicy dry rub on chicken tenderloins and cook it on Air Crisp in my Ninja Foodi. My small galley kitchen has very limited counter space so I love that my Foodi is multiple appliances in one! I make chicken tenderloins in the Foodi in about 15 minutes so that is a win in my book.

It’s best when rub sits on the meat for a while so the salt can pull the moisture from the meat. About 30-60 minutes before I start cooking I put the rub on the chicken. If you like spicy rub both sides. If you want less spice, rub only one side.

Place the crisper basket in the Foodi, close the air crisp lid, set the temperature to 360° F and let it warm up for 5 minutes. Once warm, place the chicken in the basket, trying not to overlap it. You may need to cook your chicken in a few batches depending on how much you have to cook. Close the lid and cook for 5 minutes. Using silicone tipped tongs flip the chicken over, close the lid and cook for 5 more minutes. That’s it! While it’s cooking you can prep a salad or side dish and you have a quick and easy dinner for your family.
