Ingredients For Blackstone Teriyaki Chicken
- Chicken breasts – Chop boneless, skinless chicken into even-sized chunks so that the pieces all cook through evenly. You can use chicken thighs if that’s what you have on hand, just be aware they will cook a little more quickly.
- Apple cider vinegar – A bit of apple cider vinegar adds a nice bite to this Blackstone chicken teriyaki recipe.
- Brown sugar – Brown sugar adds a nice glaze-like effect to the chicken.
- Garlic cloves – Freshly minced garlic adds loads of flavor to teriyaki chicken on the Blackstone griddle. If you don’t have any fresh garlic, garlic powder will be a tasty addition.
- Low sodium soy sauce – We recommend using low sodium soy sauce so that the dish doesn’t get too salty. You can more easily control the salt level this way.
- Cornstarch – Thicken up the sauce in your chicken teriyaki by using corn starch.
- Olive oil – Avocado oil is probably the best swap for olive oil if you don’t have any on hand. If you don’t have that, another neutral flavored oil will work.
- Sesame seeds – Add a slightly crunchy texture and a bit of a nutty flavor with some sesame seeds.
- Green onion – Chop up some fresh green onion as a flavorful, bright garnish.
Ideas For Add-Ins
Feel free to stir-fry your favorite veggies with the chicken such as carrots, bell peppers, mushrooms and broccoli.
If you like a little heat, add some kick to this yummy teriyaki chicken with chili flakes or gochujang paste.
How to Make Blackstone Teriyaki Chicken
Add olive oil to griddle and spread it out with the back of your spatula. Add the cubed chicken to the griddle and let the bottom brown for 3-4 minutes.
Flip the chicken and continue to cook for about 3 minutes until the internal temperature is 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
Whisk together soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, garlic and cornstarch in a small bowl.
Add the sauce to the griddle with the chicken and cook until thickened. It should take about 30-60 seconds.
Remove from heat and sprinkle with sesame seeds and green onions before serving.
Pro Tips
- Keep your teriyaki sauce on the thinner side so that it coats the chicken well and doesn’t burn and stick as it warms up.
- It is important to add the teriyaki sauce to the griddle after the chicken is cooked through because it burns easily! The sauce won’t take long to coat the chicken and warm up.
The tastiest take-out dish in the comfort of your own home. Chicken teriyaki on Blackstone will become a favorite at the family dinner table and the sweet and savory combination will have everyone going up for seconds!
