[@SandraMcLaughlin-c2z]

You are amazing. You have erased the learning curve on my Ninja 7 in 1 grill. Everything I have tried from your videos has been wonderful, easy, and delicious. A zillion thanks!

[@CookingWithCJ]

Wow thank you! That was truly too generous of you. I’m beyond thankful. Have an amazing weekend! Cheers

[@johnreese4717]

Thanks!

[@CookingWithCJ]

Wow! Hey thank you! Much appreciated

[@cali1251]

Excellent video CJ. Just what I needed. Cooking chicken breast, wings, steaks and grilled vegetables for my Keto plan. Getting back on track. Can’t wait to pick one of these grills up with the smart temp probe. Thank you for putting out quality videos and look forward to more of your reviews.

[@CookingWithCJ]

Hey thank you!

[@gadste]

great vid! brining the meat prior to cooking was a real gamechanger flavour wise for me

[@CookingWithCJ]

Thank you!!

[@michelleroberts8438]

Hey CJ, hey! I’m that person who most always over cooks chicken breast. Thanks for breaking it down for a sista. That grill will be a Christmas gift for self so I’m just gonna hit that link and see what else Ninja has to offer. Also, is that thermometer listed in the description box?? Thanks for another winner, winner, chic……

[@CookingWithCJ]

Hey thank you! That’s awesome! And yes, there’s a link for it in the description.

[@bobbicatton]

Chicken isn't my favorite either, but I'm trying to eat more of it these days. The instant read thermometer is a Godsend!👍

[@CookingWithCJ]

Yep yep! Thanks Bobbi!

[@clatesimerly8469]

Tried your recipes on the woodfire grill and they were amazing, i just purchased the foodi 7 in 1 grill waited on arrival and im going to do this chicken breast recipe first,thanks again for sharing brother.

[@CookingWithCJ]

Appreciate you checking out all the videos. Cheers

[@JustinEmlay]

The sliding will be different for everyone. A major factor will be how well their cabinets were installed. I always have them installed with a little angle towards the back. So when cleaning or with spills it all rolls back a little instead of onto the floor. But if the installer messed up and put too much pitch towards the front then they'll have a rough time with this grill.

[@CookingWithCJ]

Thanks

[@joyveinot]

Loved your presentation. Please make more videos using the smart thermometer. I had a very hard time trying to learn to use the thermometer on my last foodi smart grill (last years model) I think this grill will be easier because of the actual dials on the front. The virtual “dials” on the last one were hard for an older lady to grasp.

[@CookingWithCJ]

Thank you!

[@DrBeckyEm]

I am so glad to hear someone else talking aboutthhe controls and the thermometer on the Smart XL 6 in one! That is on my only complaint. I want the new smart xl 7 in 1 because of dials and heated grill grate!

[@joyveinot]

@@DrBeckyEm I like the new one so much better!

[@Town101]

CJ love your "Do's and Don't" tips for using the grill. Please keep the videos coming. Thank you.

Glad I found your channel, I’ve been debating on getting myself a ninja foodi grill. This chicken video might’ve convinced me cause that’s all my kids want to eat.

Thank you!!

[@skyboundzoo]

Exactly what I was looking for thanks!!!

[@CookingWithCJ]

Thanks!

[@skyboundzoo]

Follow up - cooking to temperature is the best cooking advice I’ve ever recieved. I cooked the chicken to 165 and it’s the JUICIEST I’ve ever had!!!! Truly a game changer thank you!!

[@sandrajeanhann8907]

HI, CJ, HAVE ANOTHER QUESTION: CAN I USE THIS PRO XL GRILL TO MAKE TWO, TURKEY BREASTS IF I CUT THE BREAST IN HALF - SO TWO, 1/2 HALF TURKEY BREASTS? Don't know whether to use my original grill or the Pro XL. Thank you again. ALWAYS love your videos.

[@CookingWithCJ]

Hi thanks! Yes you can,

[@jillfoster9096]

Thanks so much for the video. I just received my ninja. I’ve tried chicken breasts 2 nights in a row. Both times chewy and dry. I did not use the probe, but checked it with a meat thermometer. I’m going to try again, with the probe. I will get it right! You make it seem easy.

[@CookingWithCJ]

Keep at it. Watch those internal temps.

[@yardin9852]

I may have missed this but when using the Doneness mode with thermometer...does it auto turn off once it reaches the target temp?

[@robertcook8997]

C j I watch you videos and like cooking on my new ninja smoker but I have a question when I turn I on grill nothing comes on I thought it should say hi med or low any suggestion thanks Bob

[@CookingWithCJ]

I haven’t noticed either way. I turn it on and turn the nob to the setting I want and it shows the temp and time defaulted for it.

[@Wee-Rex]

I have one of these beasts, what a machine! I always butterfly my chicken breasts, makes for faster cooking and less risk of undercooked chicken (and the associated risks).

[@lldavid4816]

Hello does the grill go into the dishwater ? Because there is a resistor behind

[@CookingWithCJ]

I believe it can, but I hand wash the grill plate.

[@pattywilliams788]

Looks good, CJ! Have you ever cooked bone-in/skin-on chicken breast on your Foodi or other electric grill or air fryer? I love breast meat but I’m not too fond of boneless/skinless.

[@CookingWithCJ]

Thank you! No I haven’t. I’m not a fan of chicken breast, so I just cooked for what the masses would be searching for.

[@brendadepaula4225]

Looks amazing!!

[@CookingWithCJ]

Thank you!!

[@suziekiehn5553]

Hi CJ Can you press manual and see the current temp of the protein? Or does it display it throughout the cook? Thanks

[@CookingWithCJ]

Hi! It displays the whole time.

[@kellyharrison4327]

How do you preheat it

[@CookingWithCJ]

See the temp and time and hit start. It preheats automatically.

Hi, CJ, HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOU: Have two grills, original and XL Pro - how do you determine when to use the actual grill or air fryer for steak, chicken or fish? I seem to use always use the air fryer for just about everything I cook. Always appreciate you and your videos. You have such a cute personality!!!

[@CookingWithCJ]

Hey thank you! I usually think grill first when planning my videos. I try to feature the indoor grill function.

[@sianleitz4707]

Hey CJ. Awesome video. Have you thought about doing a pizza video on this Grill. In my 5 in 1 I am only able to fit half at a time. I am interested to know if this new machine fits a little more. I would love to hear your thoughts. Thanks

[@CookingWithCJ]

It’s about the same size as the 6 in 1. Thanks for watching!

[@sianleitz4707]

@@CookingWithCJ is the 6 in 1 bigger than the 5 in 1?

[@rickylu7200]

YUM, the foodie pro 7 in 1grill is in my cart, does it need any accessories, or does it come with everything we need? For the foodie I bought all the accessories needed to do all I love to do. You just keep on rockin' more fish and homemade pizza please please please, 😁

[@CookingWithCJ]

I don’t have any accessories for it. And not fond of fish. I’ll see what I can do on the pizza.

[@Krometheous]

Can you please help me. I've had two foodi smart xl grills thinking one was defective but everytime I use the preset function for chicken breasts well done my chicken is dry and tough to chew through days later. any tips? am i doing something wrong like leaving the chicken too long in the fridge? I set it out for 30 minutes before putting it in the grill...

[@CookingWithCJ]

Are you cooking to internal temps? I usually pull mine at 160f internal in the thickest part. And let rest to 165f. Juice every time

[@Krometheous]

@@CookingWithCJ I go to 145 deg

[@lanak4307]

Hi Thanks for video. In your opinion is it worth to upgrade from Ninja foodi smart grill XL to Ninja foodi pro smart grill?

[@CookingWithCJ]

The pro is just basically the temp probe. Not sure it’s worth it.

[@lanak4307]

@@CookingWithCJ Thanks for answer. Actually I have pro model but xl 6 in 1. I wanted to know if it is worth to upgrade to new xl 7 in 1 model?

[@kathleenannbedea3781]

Following this. I am debating if its really worth it. I need to know before I click on that purchase button. I just want more counterspace. Looking forward to eliminating my air fryer and george 😅

[@tomh4422]

Hi CJ, new subscriber here and we've already tried your French Toast recipe and your chicken breast recipe both were fantastic. My wife would like about the box on the wall behind your right shoulder it holds your mugs. Is that something you made or did you buy it somewhere? Have a great day and we appreciate your video's.

Hey thanks Tom! The wife made it with stuff from Michael’s I think.

Hi CJ, thanks for the awesome video. I have a question about getting the $80 warranty on Ninja website for the grill and griddle. By any chance do you know that if I can buy the grill as a present and then get the warranty later as I would like to confirm the person would like it to keep it first? Or do I have to buy the warranty at the same time when I purchase the grill? Many thanks in advance.

[@CookingWithCJ]

Sorry I have no idea.

[@dtdasap6221]

@@CookingWithCJ No problem, thanks all the same.

[@brittanymoore9319]

I just got my ninja griddle and grill. I made chicken 1 time so far and the marinade just totally burnt off. I had it set to 170 degrees. Have you had that issue?

[@CookingWithCJ]

I haven’t. Maybe drop the temp 25-50 degrees. Or use a marinade without sugar in it. Or use a dry rub seasoning.
