In our house, we talk a lot about how everything is better on the griddle.
From Blackstone fried rice, griddled potatoes, and Blackstone chicken breast, we turn to our Blackstone recipes more nights than not.
This Blackstone BBQ Chicken is an easy dinner and one of our favorite Blackstone chicken recipes. It uses simple ingredients, is family-friendly, and loaded with flavor.
Serve it with Blackstone Corn on the Cob and Blackstone Asparagus. A simple salad also works beautifully alongside Gouda Mac and Cheese.
Ingredients
You can buy premade BBQ seasoning or use my homemade BBQ seasoning. It is a combination of smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, brown sugar, onion powder, chili powder, ground mustard, and cayenne pepper.
Wendy's Tips and Tricks
- If you would like to marinade the chicken ahead of time, mix the BBQ seasoning with avocado or olive oil and pour over the chicken in a shallow dish or bowl. Refrigerate for an hour or up to overnight.
- Don't skip preheating your griddle to ensure the chicken cooks evenly. It takes longer than you think to come to temperature!
- Keep the griddle surface lightly oiled with your cooking oil of choice (I like avocado oil) to prevent sticking and to promote a golden crust on the chicken.
- Use an instant-read thermometer to ensure that the temperature reaches 160°F before removing the chicken from the heat.
- Brush the BBQ sauce in layers, flipping the chicken occasionally to build a caramelized, flavorful glaze.
- Let the chicken rest under foil after cooking to allow juices to redistribute, resulting in juicier bites.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
