Tips for Cooking Chicken on the Blackstone
Preheat the griddle
Always allow your Blackstone to fully preheat before adding chicken. A hot surface creates the best sear and prevents sticking.
Don't overcrowd
Leave space between pieces of chicken so they brown instead of steam.
Use a meat thermometer
Chicken should always reach an internal temperature of 165°F before serving.
Let it rest
Allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes before slicing to keep the juices inside.
Frequently Asked Questions

High smoke point oils work best, including avocado oil, canola oil, vegetable oil, and light olive oil.
