Ingredients and Substitutions
- Chicken Breasts - For this Blackstone hibachi recipe, make sure you cut your chicken into even bite-sized pieces. You could use chicken thighs if you prefer.
- Salt - I like a teaspoon per pound of meat, but feel free to adjust to your preference.
- Black Pepper - Freshly ground pepper works best, but pre-ground is perfectly fine too.
Garlic Butter
- Soy Sauce - Low sodium soy sauce is great if you're looking to cut back on salt without sacrificing taste. You could also use gluten free tamari, or coconut aminos if you prefer.
- Butter, softened - Adds a silky richness to the dish. For a dairy-free version, consider using coconut oil or a plant-based butter substitute.
- Minced Garlic - Offers a punch of flavor. Garlic powder can be used, but fresh garlic provides the best taste.
- Sesame Oil - Gives a nutty background note. If sesame oil isn't available, feel free to omit, thought the flavor will be impacted slightly.
- Minced Fresh Ginger - A key ingredient for adding freshness and zing. Fresh, refrigerated, or frozen is best. I don't recommend ground ginger.
Vegetables
- Zucchini (cut into spears) - Adds a nice crunch and sweetness to the dish. If zucchini isn't your thing, snap peas or even asparagus can make great substitutes.
- Onion - Brings sweetness and depth. Different types of onions or even shallots could be used to tweak the flavor profile slightly.
- Sesame Oil - Just like in the protein portion, it adds a crucial flavor.
How to Cook Hibachi on the Blackstone Griddle
Tips and Tricks
- Preparation is Key: Before you start making hibachi chicken on the Blackstone, make sure to have all your ingredients prepped and ready to go. Hibachi cooking is fast-paced, so having everything cut, measured, and within arm's reach will make the process smoother and more enjoyable.
- Avoid Overcooking: Cook the chicken and vegetables separately to avoid overcooking. This allows each component to cook at its ideal temperature and time, ensuring the vegetables are crisp and the chicken is juicy and tender.
- Invest in the Right Tools: Using flat-top grill accessories, like spatulas and squirt bottles, can make your cooking experience much easier.
- Vegetable Hibachi Fun: Feel free to use your favorite vegetables. Carrots, mushrooms, bell peppers, and broccoli are all fabulous here.
