How to use the Ninja DOUBLE OVEN | Whole Roast Chicken

Can the new Ninja DCT451 12-in-1 Smart Double Oven with FlexDoor roast a whole chicken? Yes it absolutely can. You can roast a whole chicken, load the same baking tray with broccoli in the bottom CONVECTION OVEN AND cook macaroni and cheese in the top RAPID COOK oven.

I used SMART FINISH so everything was ready at the same time. A complete roast chicken dinner all in 1 countertop oven.

The two separate ovens let's you cook at different temperatures with different functions and finish at the same time.

The SMART THERMOMETER monitors the temperature of the chicken during cooking so the chicken was perfectly cooked.

I seasoned the chicken with 2 tablespoons of seasoned salt and let it sit, covered, in the refrigerator overnight.

The Mac and cheese bake recipe is from the Ninja Foodi Double Oven cookbook that is included with the unit. You will need an oven and broiler safe, 8 by 8 inch pan with 2 inch high sides. Ninja Kitchen suggests you purchase their pan that is available on their website.
