🥘 Ingredients

Zone 1 - Chicken

4 chicken drumsticks (about 1.5 lbs)
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp smoked paprika
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/3 cup BBQ sauce

Zone 2 - Corn

2 ears of corn (shucked, halved)
2 tbsp butter (softened)
1/2 tsp salt

Garnish

lime wedges (for serving)

📝 Instructions

Pat drumsticks dry. Toss with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, and salt. Shared 💡 Dry rub before BBQ sauce — it builds layers of flavor.
Shuck corn and cut each ear in half. Rub all over with softened butter and salt. Shared 💡 Halving the corn makes it fit better in the Ninja pan.
Preheat both zones on Dual Zone at 380°F for 3 minutes. Shared 💡 Both zones at the same temp here — chicken and corn cook well at 380°F.
Set zone2 to Air Roast at 380°F for 20 min (corn). Set zone1 to Air Fry at 380°F for 18 min (chicken). Enable Smart Finish. Shared 💡 Air Roast for corn gives gentle, even cooking. Air Fry for chicken gives crisper skin.
Place corn in zone2 pan. When zone1 alert sounds, place drumsticks in the basket. Shared 💡 The 2-minute delay means corn starts while you finish prepping chicken.
When 5 minutes remain, brush drumsticks with BBQ sauce on all sides. Close and continue. Shared 💡 Saucing at the end prevents the sugar in BBQ sauce from burning.
Check chicken temp reaches 175°F. Rest 5 minutes. Serve with lime wedges to squeeze over both chicken and corn. Shared 💡 A squeeze of lime on BBQ chicken is a game-changer — try it before you doubt it.

💡 Ninja Tips

Corn on the cob in foil with butter creates a steamed effect. Without foil, you get more roasted/charred flavor — both are great. The drumsticks are forgiving — they stay juicy even if the temp drifts to 180°F.

Scaling: To double: cook in two batches. To halve: 2 drumsticks, 1 ear of corn (halved).
