Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 to 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice or vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons fresh herbs (parsley or cilantro), chopped

Optional Variations

  • Cayenne pepper or crushed red pepper flakes (for spicy kick)
  • Rosemary or thyme (alternative fresh herbs)
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 teaspoon grated ginger, 1 teaspoon sesame oil (Asian-inspired)
  • 1–2 teaspoons honey (for honey glaze, added near end of cooking)
  • Zucchini noodles or cauliflower rice (for low-carb sides)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Your Blackstone Griddle: Set the griddle to medium-high heat and allow it to warm for 5-7 minutes. This ensures perfect searing and helps lock in the juices while cooking.
  2. Prepare the Chicken: Pat the chicken dry with paper towels. Coat evenly with olive oil. Mix garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, chili powder, salt, and pepper, then sprinkle this dry rub on both sides of the chicken. If possible, let it rest for 15-30 minutes to absorb the flavors.
  3. Cook the Chicken: Place the chicken on the preheated griddle. Cook undisturbed for 5-6 minutes to form a nice crust. Flip and cook for another 5-6 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Monitor to prevent burning.
  4. Rest and Garnish: Remove chicken from the griddle and allow it to rest for 5 minutes to redistribute juices. Garnish with freshly chopped herbs and a squeeze of lemon juice for added brightness.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Plate the chicken with your choice of sides like grilled vegetables, salads, or grain bowls, and savor the rich smoky flavor unique to the Blackstone griddle.

Notes

  • Preheat the griddle thoroughly to ensure a beautiful sear and retain moisture.
  • Do not overcrowd the griddle; leave space between chicken pieces for even cooking.
  • Use a meat thermometer to avoid overcooking and to achieve a perfect internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
  • Marinate the chicken ahead of time (at least 1 hour or overnight) for deeper flavor.
  • Flip the chicken only once during cooking to develop a better crust and even cook.
