Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp grated ginger (optional)
  • Salt to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 3 cups day-old cooked white rice, chilled
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1 medium carrot, diced
  • 1/2 cup frozen peas, thawed
  • 3 stalks green onions, sliced
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • Optional: 1 tbsp mirin or sake

Instructions

  1. Marinate the chicken: In a bowl, combine soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, salt, and pepper. Add chicken thighs and toss to coat. Let sit for 10 minutes.
  2. Prep veggies and rice: Dice carrots, slice green onions, thaw peas. Break up any clumps in the cold rice.
  3. Heat the Blackstone griddle to medium-high (about 375°F). Add vegetable oil to coat the surface evenly.
  4. Cook the chicken: Place marinated chicken thighs on the griddle. Press down firmly with a spatula. Cook undisturbed for 4-5 minutes until golden and crispy, then flip and cook the other side until internal temperature reaches 165°F. Remove and rest.
  5. Start the fried rice: Add more oil or butter to the griddle. Pour in beaten eggs and scramble quickly. Once set, add diced carrots and peas. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until veggies soften.
  6. Add rice and seasoning: Toss in cold rice, breaking apart clumps. Drizzle soy sauce evenly and stir-fry for 5-6 minutes, allowing slight char. Add sliced green onions toward the end and toss well.
  7. Serve: Slice rested chicken into bite-sized pieces and plate alongside fried rice. Garnish with extra green onions or sesame seeds if desired.

Notes

Use day-old rice for best fried rice texture. Press chicken firmly on the griddle for a crispy crust. Avoid flipping chicken too soon to develop crust. Keep griddle hot but not smoking to prevent soy sauce burning. For gluten-free, substitute soy sauce with tamari or coconut aminos. Butter can be omitted for dairy-free version.
