How long to cook chicken thighs in ninja foodi grill

Peach BBQ Chicken Thighs offer that sweet and savory in every single juicy grilled chicken piece you bite into. Peach preserves, barbeque sauce, and more help bring this grilled chicken thigh recipe to a whole new level!

I am a sucker for our Ninja Foodi Grill! Check out my Bacon Wrapped Jalapenos or my grilled Bruschetta Chicken! This dry rub steak is incredible and is a Texas Roadhouse Steak seasoning copycat recipe.

Chicken thighs is a pretty affordable cut of chicken. When you buy chicken that is on the bone you will find it tends to offer a moister flavor as the bone helps to keep your meat nice and juicy.

So reaching for chicken thighs is always a good choice.

Can I Use Other Cuts Of Chicken

Sure! You are more than welcome to use any cut of chicken. The biggest thing is adjusting the cooking time to meat your needs.

Say you do a tenderloin it will be done in minutes, where a bone-in chicken breast can take a lot longer.

How To Make BBQ Chicken Thighs In Ninja Foodi Grill

Step 1: Start by mixing your peach preserves, lemon juice, bbq sauce, and salt and pepper together in a bowl. Once well combined set aside.

Step 2: Trim the fat from your chicken thighs, and then once all prepped place raw chicken in the bowl with the peach marinade you made.

Step 3: Make sure all the chicken is coated and place in the fridge for 30 minutes to 24 hours.

Step 4: Once your chicken is ready, preheat your Ninja Foodi Grill to medium-high heat. Then place the skin side down and cook 4-5 minutes per side.

You will cook until the internal temperature of your chicken reaches 165 degrees. Make sure to use a meat thermometer to ensure your chicken is fully cooked.

You are more than welcome to use any indoor grill or even an outdoor grill. I have cooked this chicken on our pellet grill and wood grill.

Tips When Making Peach BBQ Chicken

• In the recipe you see we use peach preserve, it really has the perfect consistency and really sticks to the chicken. In a pinch you are more than welcome to use peach jelly.
• The longer you marinade this chicken the better the flavor gets. So I recommend letting it marinade overnight for best flavor.
• Take sliced peaches and toss on the grill to pair next to your chicken for added flavor! It is incredible!
