How to Make Sweet and Spicy Chicken Stir Fry on the Blackstone Griddle

Step 1 – Preheat a Blackstone Grill over medium high heat. 

Step 2 – Place the diced chicken, cornstarch, salt and pepper in a sealed bag. Toss the bag ingredients until the chicken is thoroughly coated in the mixture. 

Step 3 – Whisk the sauce ingredients together in a mixing bowl. 

Step 4 – Drizzle the oil onto the grill and spread it around with a spatula. 

Step 5 – Place the chicken in a single layer on the grill and sauté for 5-6 minutes, tossing it halfway through the cook time, until the chicken is browned and cooked through. 

Step 6 – Push the chicken to a cool side of the griddle and spread the vegetable out onto the grill in a single layer. 

Step 7 – Cook for 2-3 minutes, tossing the vegetables frequently, until the veggies are tender. 

Step 8 – Toss the chicken back into the cooked veggies and pour the sauce on top. 

Step 9 – Toss to coat the chicken and vegetables with the sauce and cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens on the flat-top griddle.

Step 10 – Remove from the grill, serve immediately while warm topped with green onions and sesame seeds and enjoy!  

Pro Tips

• Veggies – I love using the package of stir fry vegetables because it saves time but you can definitely dice up your own fresh vegetables for this stir fry recipe if you prefer. Make sure they are about the same size so they cook evenly.
• High Smoke Point Oil – You can use any cooking oil to sauté the chicken and vegetables on the Blackstone grill.  
• Prepare Griddle – Before cooking the chicken make sure to preheat the griddle and season with oil. This will help to prevent the chicken and veggies from sticking.

Variations Ideas

• Change Meat – Feel free to swap the chicken for shrimp, steak, chicken tenders, boneless skinless chicken breast or tofu
• Tropical Twist – Add in chunks of pineapple and slice mushrooms for a delicious tropical twist.
• Spicy – Add in ½ tsp of sriracha sauce, red pepper flakes, tablespoon of Garlic Chili Sauce, hot sauce or cayenne pepper.
• Marinade – If you prefer you can marinate your chicken for serious flavor. Try this Grilled Chicken Marinade.
