can you deep fry chicken with this unit? null

You can only "air fry". If you're looking to deep fry with a pressure cooker, you would need a pressure fryer.

Hello thewebguy, We would like to inform you that you can cook a chicken in the Ninja® Foodi™ using the TenderCrisp™ Technology. This is a revolutionary cooking method that tenderizes food using pressure cooking then crisps it using super-heated air, quickly cooking your food from the inside out. We hope this information helps. The Customer Support Team

There's a recipe for "roast" chicken (first pressure-cooked, then air-fried) in the quickstart guide & mini-recipe book which is very good, and does not require turning the chicken over partway through the air-frying. Otherwise, as the previous answer indicated, you can air-fry pieces of chicken (and there are already YouTube videos of people doing that). The air-frying seems safer and healthier than deep-frying anyway. If you truly want to deep-fry in oil, though, you'll want a different appliance.

This product will allow you to air fry chicken.

You can “air fry” a 4-5 pound chicken according to the manual: https://m.ninjakitchen.com/include/pdf/OP300Series_WebCookCharts_180810.pdf. Air frying is different than deep frying. It requires a much smaller amount of oil, up to 75% less and uses a convection fan to fry the ingredients.
