Chicken Drumsticks in Ninja Foodi We don’t really talk about that because if you use yours on a daily basis like I do, you just know that’s part of the process.Keep in mind that during the pressure cooking process, it does take a bit of time to come to pressure.This is closer to 22 minutes, so almost half!
