Blackstone Bourbon Chicken On The Griddle
This bourbon chicken recipe on the griddle brings amazing sweet and sticky flavors to your table. It’s a crowd-pleaser that comes together quickly for a delicious meal.
Key Ingredients & Griddle Tips
- Chicken Thighs: Use boneless, skinless chicken thighs for the best texture and flavor absorption. They stay moist and tender on the griddle.
- Griddle Heat: Make sure your griddle is hot to get a nice sear on the chicken. This helps create that delicious crispy edge.
What You Need for Bourbon Chicken
- 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup bourbon (optional, can use chicken broth instead)
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water
- 1 tablespoon cooking oil
- Green onions and sesame seeds for garnish (optional)
⏱️ Time: 25 minutes🍽️ Yields: 4 servings
How to Make Bourbon Chicken
Step 1: Make the Sauce
In a bowl, mix together the soy sauce, bourbon (if using), brown sugar, grated ginger, and minced garlic. Stir until the brown sugar is fully dissolved. Set this sauce aside.
Step 2: Cook the Chicken
Heat your Blackstone griddle to medium-high heat and add the cooking oil. Place the chicken pieces on the hot griddle and cook for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are browned on all sides and mostly cooked through.
Step 3: Glaze and Finish
Pour the prepared bourbon sauce over the chicken on the griddle. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring often, until the sauce thickens. If you want a thicker sauce, stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook for another minute until it reaches your desired consistency. Serve hot.
📝 Final Note
Store leftover bourbon chicken in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the griddle or in a pan.

Blackstone Jalapeno Lime Chicken and Corn
Get ready for a zesty and slightly spicy meal with this griddle jalapeno lime chicken and corn recipe. It’s fresh, vibrant, and perfect for a summer evening cookout.
Key Ingredients & Fresh Tips
- Lime Zest: Zest your lime before juicing for an extra citrus boost. The zest holds a lot of the lime’s aroma and helps flavor the chicken.
- Corn Preference: Fresh corn cut from the cob is best for a crisp texture, but frozen corn works well too if fresh isn’t available.
What You Need for Jalapeno Lime Chicken
- 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 jalapeno, seeded and minced (remove seeds for less heat)
- Juice and zest of 1 lime
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 2 cups corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
- 1/2 red onion, diced
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
⏱️ Time: 30 minutes🍽️ Yields: 4 servings
How to Make Jalapeno Lime Chicken
Step 1: Marinate the Chicken
In a medium bowl, combine the chicken pieces with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, minced jalapeno, lime juice, lime zest, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Toss well to coat. Let it sit for at least 10 minutes while you heat the griddle.
Step 2: Cook Chicken and Veggies
Heat your Blackstone griddle to medium-high heat and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the marinated chicken to the griddle and cook for 5-7 minutes, turning until it’s cooked through and lightly browned. Push the chicken to one side of the griddle. On the other side, add the corn and diced red onion. Cook for 5-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the corn is slightly charred and the onion is softened.
Step 3: Combine and Serve
Mix the cooked chicken, corn, and red onion together on the griddle. Stir in the fresh chopped cilantro. Taste and adjust seasonings if needed. Serve hot as a complete meal.
📝 Final Note
A little extra fresh cilantro on top makes a big difference in this dish. You can also add avocado slices for more richness before serving.
