Can I Bake Chicken?
Yes, you can bake the chicken instead of cooking on your Blackstone Griddle. Preheat oven to 425 degrees and place the marinated chicken on a baking sheet. Bake the chicken for about 30 minutes.
Once chicken is baked, dice then serve on your tortillas.
How do you know when Chicken is done:
To check if your chicken is done, it is best to use a meat thermometer. Insert the thermometer into the chicken and it should read 165 degrees when chicken is done.
Chicken Tacos on Blackstone Tips:
- Marinate Chicken – To give the chicken the best flavor, make sure to marinate it for at least for an hour.
- Prepare Blackstone – Make sure to heat the Blackstone and oil the flat top. This gives the chicken the best texture and prevents it from sticking to the griddle.
- Allow Chicken to Rest – We recommend to allow the chicken to rest before serving after cooking. This locks in the juices and gives the chicken more flavor.
How to Store Leftovers:
Refrigerate the leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days. We recommend storing in individual containers. This chicken would also be great served with some rice and roasted vegetables.
