A quick and easy teriyaki chicken fried rice recipe cooked on a Blackstone griddle, delivering crispy rice, juicy chicken, and a sweet-savory glaze with a nutty sesame finish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 4 cups day-old jasmine rice, chilled
  • 1 cup diced carrots
  • ½ cup frozen peas
  • 3 green onions, sliced
  • ½ cup teriyaki sauce (store-bought or homemade)
  • 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh grated ginger
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
  • Optional: red pepper flakes or sliced chili for heat

Instructions

  1. Cut chicken into bite-sized pieces. Dice carrots, slice green onions, and mince garlic and ginger. Beat the eggs lightly in a bowl.
  2. Preheat Blackstone griddle to medium-high heat (around 375°F). Let it preheat for 5 minutes until evenly hot.
  3. Add 1 tablespoon vegetable oil to the griddle. Spread chicken pieces in a single layer. Let sear without moving for 3 minutes, then flip and cook another 3-4 minutes until cooked through and golden. Remove chicken and set aside.
  4. Add more oil if needed. Pour in beaten eggs and stir gently until just set but still moist. Remove and set aside with chicken.
  5. Add remaining oil. Toss in garlic, ginger, carrots, and peas. Stir frequently until fragrant and veggies start to soften.
  6. Crumble chilled rice and spread evenly on the griddle. Cook undisturbed for 2-3 minutes to develop crispiness, then stir and cook another 2 minutes until golden and slightly crunchy.
  7. Return chicken and eggs to the griddle. Drizzle teriyaki sauce, soy sauce, and toasted sesame oil evenly over the mixture. Toss thoroughly to coat everything. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
  8. Remove from heat and sprinkle with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds. Optionally, add a pinch of red pepper flakes for heat.

Notes

Use day-old rice for best texture. Avoid overcrowding the griddle to get a good sear on chicken. Let rice cook undisturbed to develop crispy bits. If rice sticks, add a splash of oil and keep heat steady. Fresh ginger and garlic should be added after chicken to avoid burning. Substitute tofu for chicken for vegetarian option and tamari for soy sauce for gluten-free.
