In this special ShopLive Event, we were joined by Olivier Proudlock and Emma Louise Connolly, who battled it out to create the best Fakeaway version of a Spicy Chicken Burger and Chips, using the brilliant new Ninja Health Grill and Air Fryer.
The Ninja Health Grill and Air Fryer offers 5 great cooking features including Grilling, Air Frying, Baking, Roasting and Dehydrating.
But for this recipe, it's all about the grill. It’s like an indoor BBQ, helping you create the same chargrill taste with a fraction of the smoke. Watch below as Olivier and Emma cook up a storm.

6. Insert probe horizontally into the centre of the largest piece of chicken close to (but not touching) the bone. (see probe placement instructions on page 7).
7. When unit beeps to signify it has preheated, place chicken in the basket. Close lid over the probe cord.
8. While chicken is cooking, whisk together remaining 60ml vegetable oil, brown sugar, paprika, and cayenne pepper in a large bowl.
9. When unit beeps and the display reads FLIP, use silicone-tipped tongs to flip the chicken, then close lid to continue cooking.
10. When unit beeps to signal cooking is complete, use oven mitts to remove probe from chicken.
11. Gently toss chicken in the spiced oil mixture and serve.
