Description
A restaurant-quality hibachi-style chicken fried rice made right on your outdoor griddle with crispy rice, tender chicken, and savory seasonings.
Ingredients
4 cups cooked jasmine rice (chilled overnight)
2 lbs chicken breast or thighs, diced into bite-sized pieces
3 large eggs, beaten
1 cup frozen peas and carrots, thawed
1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
4 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
3 tablespoons vegetable oil (or avocado oil)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup green onions, sliced for garnish
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat your Blackstone griddle to medium-high heat and apply a thin layer of vegetable oil across the surface.
Step 2: Place the diced chicken on one side of the griddle. Season with pepper and cook for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through.
Step 3: On the other side of the griddle, sauté the onions, peas, and carrots in a little oil until the onions become translucent and soft.
Step 4: Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the vegetable mixture, stirring for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 5: Push the vegetables and chicken to the cooler edges of the griddle. Pour the beaten eggs onto the center and scramble them quickly with your spatula.
Step 6: Add the cold rice to the center of the griddle. Use your spatulas to break up any large clumps and spread the rice out in a thin layer.
Step 7: Add the butter to the rice and let it melt. Toss the rice, chicken, vegetables, and eggs together until thoroughly combined.
Step 8: Drizzle the soy sauce, oyster sauce, and toasted sesame oil over the entire mixture. Toss and chop with your spatulas for another 2-3 minutes until the rice is heated through and slightly crispy.
Step 9: Remove from the griddle, garnish with sliced green onions, and serve the ultimate chicken fried rice on blackstone immediately.
Notes
Always use cold rice for the best texture. If you are in a rush, spread freshly cooked rice on a baking sheet and freeze for 20 minutes.
