why are we all pretending this is complicated. Chuck both chickens and veggies in the baskets and press sync.
Anyone tried half a chicken + veg in the Ninja Foodi dual zone?

because some of us care if the food is good
The bone side of the half chicken do even cook while skin side up and the bone rests on the basket.

this is the right answer. The bone acts as a heat sink so the breast of the chicken remains juicy.
never used a foodi but i have the tower one and cooking a half chicken in that is a nightmare as it will always touch the element. Is the ninja foodi taller inside the baskets?

yeah the foodi baskets are deeper than most. The tower models are shallow.
200c for 35 minutes to the half chicken and 200c for 25 minutes to the veggies. Cooked them this way for two years and never had a bad result.
do you season the chicken the night before or right before cooking?
season the chicken the night before with nothing but salt and let it dry on a rack in the fridge. This will give you the crispiest skin when roasted.
i did this recipe last weekend, roasted veggies in the basket included peppers, carrots and a red onion dressed in oil and garlic granules. The result was alot better than expected. The carrots took a few more minutes than the peppers so pulled the peppers early.
cut the carrots smaller next time.

or just cook them separately like a normal person.
