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.

The next morning, as I double checked that I had everything I need to make dinner that night, I noticed that he had purchased a Hidden Valley Spicy Ranch Dressing Packet, not the regular one. He went back to the store for the correct item and I out the incorrect item away in the pantry for another day.

Another day finally came about 2 months later. I wanted to make some chicken in the air fryer of my Ninja Foodi for a quick dinner before we went out to a meeting. I looked in the cupboard and saw the Spicy Ranch Dressing Packet and a plan was formed. All I needed was this seasoning, about a pound of chicken tenders and a side dish. For my side dish I whipped up some Noodle-roni Fettucine Alfredo that Ron had gotten on BOGO at Publix. I prefer to make my own from scratch but this does fine for a quick dinner.

Simple Spicy Ranch Chicken in the Air Fryer

Ingredients

• 1 pound Chicken Tenders defrosted
• 1 packet Spicy Ranch Dressing Mix I use Hidden Valley

Simple Spicy Ranch Chicken Instructions

1. Place the chicken in a medium bowl.
2. Sprinkle the Spicy Ranch Dressing Packet over the chicken to coat.
3. Place the chicken in a single layer in the air fryer.

It doesn’t get any easier than that for a quick and delicious weeknight meal. It is now on our regular meal rotation, we love it so much. It took longer for my side dish to cook then it did the chicken, so plan accordingly.
