    1. Rinse chicken and pat it dry.
    2. In a small bowl combine olive oil, paprika, salt, pepper and crushed garlic.
    3. If using a Ninja Foodie, place chicken in air fryer basket then into the pressure cooker bowl. If using another pressure cooker, simply place the chicken into pan.
    4. Tie the chicken legs together with twine.
    5. Brush glaze over the chicken.
    6. Place the pressure cooker lid on and cook for 40 minuets.
    7. Once the chicken is done cooking allow the steam to escape before opening lid.
    8. If using a Ninja Foodie—place air frying lid on and cook for an additional 15-20 minuets at 400°. If using a separate air fryer—simply place chicken in air fryer and cook with the same instructions above. If you are skipping the frying no problem. Just cook for a full 42 minuets and use a meat thermometer to double check the chicken is fully cooked. It should reach an internal temp of 165°
    9. After the chicken has crisped allow the chicken to rest with the lid off for about 10 minuets before carving.
    10. Enjoy!
    Recipe Notes

    I used a 7 pound chicken. So the directions I give are for that weight. However, a good guide is to cook for 6 minuets per pound of chicken.

    For the Topping:
    Instructions
    For the Icing:
    1. Add maple syrup and coconut oil (or even ghee if you can tolerate it) into a food processor and allow it to puree until smooth. If you are adding in pecans do it now. Just pour the pecans in and pulse the food processor a few times to break them down--just doing over do it otherwise you wont have those yummy chunks! **You can opt out of adding the pecans in the icing, you're going to add more on top of the cookie anyways. This is just kind of an added bonus!
    2. Place icing into a fridge while baking the cookies.
    For the Cookies:
    1. Add all ingredients to a bowl and intermittently stir the batter as you add in more.
    2. Once everything is combined, measure out the dough with a tablespoon and roll in into a ball.
    3. Place the balls of dough onto a parchment lined cookie sheet.
    4. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 10 minuets.
    5. Once the cookies have baked allow them to completely cool.
    6. After the cookies have cooled frost the cookies.
    7. Sprinkle chopped pecans on top.
    8. Pour chocolate chips into a small bowl and microwave for about 45-60 seconds.
    9. Drizzle Chocolate on on top of pecans and icing.
    10. Serve and Enjoy!
    Recipe Notes

    For storing:

    The icing on these cookies will stay soft if left at room temperature, you can store them at this temp in a sealed container--no problem. If you were wanting that "classic" hardened royal icing store the cookies in the fridge. In a large sealed container, I placed the first layer down, placed in the fridge for about 15 minuets and then placed the final layer down--that way the icing doesn't smear with the layers.)

    1. In a large bowl combine all the ingredients for the crust mixing intermittently.
    2. On a flat surface, sprinkle arrowroot powder down so the dough doesn't stick to the counter.
    3. Roll out the dough, while again, sprinkling a little arrowroot powder down so it doesn't stick to the rolling pin.
    4. I used a bowl to place down and cut out a round cut of dough. If you have a large cookie cutter or even want the pies a little smaller you can certainly use anything else to cut.
    5. Transfer the dough to a parchment lined sheet pan. It helped me to use a spatula to transfer it over.
    6. Top the dough with divided ham and cheese.
    7. Fold the dough in half and press the sides together.
    8. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 20 minuets, flipping half way through.
    9. Once the pies are finished cooking allow to cool down for a about 5 minuets and then serve.
    Recipe Notes

    There will be extra dough so if you're not as good with being gentle with these like me, you can simply patch up the hand pies. The dough is very forgiving so you can re-seam it with ease!
