directions

1. Preheat your Blackstone griddle to medium-high heat.

FAQs

What kind of chicken works best?

Boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs work great—just slice thinly so they cook quickly and evenly.

Do I need to cook rice ahead of time?

Yes, prep your rice or noodles in advance so you can serve the stir fry hot off the griddle.

Can I use frozen vegetables?

Fresh is best for texture, but frozen stir fry veggies can be used—just thaw and pat dry before cooking.

What oil should I use?

Use high-heat oils like olive oil, avocado oil, or sesame oil for authentic flavor and searing.

How do I keep veggies from overcooking?

Cook them quickly over high heat and stir frequently. Remove from heat when they’re still slightly crisp.

Can I marinate the chicken?

Yes! A simple marinade of soy sauce, garlic, and a touch of sesame oil adds extra flavor if you have time.

Is this recipe gluten-free?

Use gluten-free soy sauce (like tamari) and check your stir fry sauces to ensure they’re gluten-free.

Can I cook this indoors?

Yes, a large cast iron skillet or wok over high heat will work similarly.

What can I serve with chicken stir fry?

Rice, noodles, lettuce wraps, or steamed dumplings all pair beautifully.

Can I double the recipe?

Yes! The Blackstone griddle has plenty of space for a double batch—just cook chicken and veggies in batches to maintain heat and texture.
