How to cook chicken thighs PROPERLY | Filipino Style Chicken Thighs on Ninja Woodfire Grill

[@DLBass-op2ib]

I made some of the Filipino chicken thighs today in my Ninja Woodfire Pro XL connect. They turned out delicious. My hubby liked them and Radar, our Jack Russell/Chihuahua, gave a paws up. Radar is a very picky eater so they were delicious. Donna

Well to get the pups approval means something for sure!!!

[@DLBass-op2ib]

@ Radar had some for lunch and dinner. You have a winner.

Thank you for the directions I just got mine and was going to try chicken thighs this was the best example yet describing how to do thighs

[@DadGotThis]

Thank you! I tend to lean on over information, some people like it and it drives other people nuts! lol 😂

[@williammitchell5391]

Great! Thanks! I found it on your link just after I asked...keep up the good work!

[@DadGotThis]

Awesome, thank you!

[@TommyTucker0]

another fantastic video, I got my XL connect yesterday, and your videos are so helpful thank you, PS here in the UK mine came with only one thermometer ;-(

[@DadGotThis]

The Us ones do too, they sent me an additional one with the grill. :)

[@jasminefamlife]

Are you flipping the thighs starting skin side down? Are you basting? If so, when for both? Thanks 🙏🏽

[@DadGotThis]

No flipping or basting. Just cook and go!

[@karenmitchell5906]

Have you tried the charcoal pellets? I use them for burgers, hot dogs and brats. I really like them for those foods.

[@DadGotThis]

Yes I have! I am currently testing with them. I will have a video on them soon!

Whenever I cook breast to 165 it's rubbery. But when I cook it to 175 to 185 it's perfect and not dried out

[@INSCIFI]

I’m glad to hear somebody has used them. I just got some to try myself

[@gutierrezviggiano]

[@INSCIFI]

@@gutierrezviggiano I’ve been using Kona and a Jack Daniels whiskey barrel variety

Great work!Thanks for your work. I am from Germany and my English isn’t the best. But in your videos,with your excellent pronunciation, I do understand almost everything And all Infos make 100% sense✌️

[@DadGotThis]

Thank you very much!

@@DadGotThis I found it after I made the request...thanks bunch!

[@Tom_The_GCT]

my woodfire grill sometimes ignites the pellets but it just doesnt ignite the rest and goes out after like 5-10mins, any thoughts? might it be the wind? or smth else

[@DadGotThis]

Do they really go out or just go into the "clean burn". They do not burn fully with big huge plumes of white smoke the whole time. That is actually a "dirty smoke" and not as good for the food. The lighter almost invisible smoke that you smell but don't have to see clouds of is actually preferred. If you just let it run will the whole hopper eventually be empty and ash or is is still full of unburnt pellets after more than 2 hours?

[@needmango]

Hey dad! Have you noticed the plastic around the top of the smoke box melting on your ninja? Mines melting and getting sticky from melted plastic and idk what’s causing it.

[@DadGotThis]

I just went and checked mine and it still looks like new. Not sure why yours is doing that.

[@pierremcgraw9154]

How long did you smoke your chicken thighs?

[@DadGotThis]

I cooked to temp not to by time. I believe they took about 20 to 30 minutes.

[@rbiv5]

While I appreciate your videos, I am perplexed as to why someone would purchase this oven as opposed to using a home oven. I can appreciate people who want to cook outside and are limited by space and apartment rules, but as far as I am concerned, if it doesn't provide a noticeable wood smoke flavor, then it is not worth the money. I have seen a lot of videos on this product from creators and its pretty universally known that the smoke flavor is light at best. I would only see the use if this oven as a griddle but there are much inexpensive options out there. Pass.

[@DadGotThis]

I would have to disagree that you only get a “light” smoke flavor with it. I have had multiple things I cooked where my wife has said it had TOO MUCH smoke flavor.

[@williammitchell5391]

@@DadGotThis My wife would say that even if I didn't use the Smoke setting!

[@kurtdestiche3380]

We've had this for a few months now, and I would say that it kicks out PLENTY of smoke flavor, and it's much simpler to use than our previous Brinkman and Masterbuilt (though you could do more with the Masterbuilt based on sheer size)
