Whole Roast Chicken is one of my favorite things to make. I don’t know if it’s because it’s so easy to make or if it’s because it’s so perfect to serve with all kinds of side dishes for the perfect lunch or dinner.
It’s perfect to make in the oven which is how I make my favorite Oven Roasted Whole Chicken, and I also love cooking whole chickens with this recipe for Oven Roasted Beer Can Chicken.
This Ninja Foodi is one of my favorite kitchen appliances and I use it all the time. Thomas bought it for me for Christmas last year or maybe the year before. We keep it out on the counter because we use it a few times a week.
I love making Healthy Low Carb Air Fryer Chicken Nuggets in it, I also use it for Air Fryer Corn on the Cob and Instant Pot Pulled Pork & Potatoes. Plus it’s perfect for air frying frozen foods as well.
Ok, haha this is totally NOT a sponsored post, I just really love my Foodi because it’s an Instant Pot, Air Fryer and Slow Cooker in one.
What you’ll need to make Ninja Foodi Instant Pot Whole Roast Chicken:

How to make Ninja Foodi Instant Pot Whole Roast Chicken:

Rinse chicken and pat dry. Tie chicken legs/ankle bones together with bakers twine.
Add air frying basket back to Ninja Foodi.
Place chicken into air fryer basket.
Brush chicken with melted butter. Season chicken with salt and pepper.
Close Instant Pot lid and seal. Cook on the Instant Pot setting on high pressure for 25 minutes.
Once cooked, carefully do a quick release on the pressure. Chicken needs to reach 165F to be completely cooked.

Air fry chicken at 400F for 10-15 minutes or until chicken skin is nicely browned.
FAQ
- Can I make this in a regular Instant Pot? YEP! You sure can. When it’s done cooking just take the chicken out and pop it into the oven and under the broiler for a few minutes to crisp the skin.
- What seasonings should I use? For this particular one I used a tomato and basil herb mixture that I had but I’ve also used a garlic herb seasoning mix, a chicken seasoning herb mix and Mrs. Dash.
What to serve with Roast Chicken:
- Stove Top Southern Green Beans
- One Dish Easy Cheesy Mac and Cheese
- Crispy Garlic Parmesan Roasted Broccoli
- Grilled Corn with Herb Butter
