Description
If you're craving juicy, sticky-sweet BBQ chicken but don’t feel like firing up a smoker or charcoal grill, the Blackstone griddle is your new best friend.
Ingredients
1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
1 tablespoon olive oil or avocado oil
Salt and pepper, to taste
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon smoked paprika (optional for a smoky kick)
½ cup BBQ sauce of choice (sugar-free options work great too)
Instructions
Preheat your Blackstone griddle to medium-high heat and add a thin layer of oil.
Season the chicken with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.
Grill the chicken, pressing it gently for a good sear. Cook for about 5–6 minutes per side (thighs may take longer).
Brush with BBQ sauce during the last 2–3 minutes of cooking, flipping once or twice to caramelize the sauce without burning it.
Rest the chicken for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve hot and saucy!
Notes
Use a meat thermometer: Chicken is done when it hits 165°F internal temp.
Don’t add the BBQ sauce too early—it has sugar and can burn easily.
Double the batch: Leftovers are amazing on sandwiches, salads, or in wraps.
