Blackstone Bourbon Chicken On The Griddle
This bourbon chicken recipe brings a sweet and saucy glaze right to your griddle. It’s a wonderful option perfect for an easy dinner any night.
Key Ingredients & Tips for Bourbon Chicken
- Marinating Time: Letting the chicken sit in the marinade for at least 30 minutes helps it soak up all the delicious taste.
- Sauce Thickening: Cook the sauce down until it’s thick and coats the chicken well; this creates a beautiful glaze.
- High Griddle Heat: Make sure your griddle is hot enough to get a good sear on the chicken, locking in juices.
What You Need for Bourbon Chicken
- 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1/2 cup bourbon (you can use chicken broth for non-alcoholic)
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp grated fresh ginger
- 1 tbsp cooking oil
⏱️ Time: 35 minutes (plus marinating)🍽️ Yields: 4 servings
How to Make Blackstone Bourbon Chicken
Step 1: Prep the Chicken & Marinade
Cut your chicken into bite-sized pieces. In a large bowl, mix the bourbon (or broth), soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Add the chicken pieces, making sure they are well coated. Cover the bowl and let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator, or up to 4 hours for more flavor.
Step 2: Heat Your Griddle
Preheat your Blackstone griddle to medium-high heat. Add about a tablespoon of cooking oil to the griddle surface and let it heat up until it begins to shimmer.
Step 3: Cook the Chicken
Carefully place the marinated chicken onto the hot griddle, spreading it out in a single layer if possible. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, turning the chicken often, until it is cooked through and has a nice browned exterior.
Step 4: Glaze and Serve
If you saved some marinade or made a fresh batch of sauce, pour it over the chicken as it finishes cooking. Let the sauce reduce and thicken into a sticky glaze, stirring the chicken to coat evenly. Serve your hot bourbon chicken right away with rice or your favorite sides.
📝 Final Note
Any leftover bourbon chicken stores well in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. It’s also great for meal prep!

Slice your chicken breast thinly into bite-sized pieces. Dice your zucchini and onion into similar small pieces. Having everything prepped before you start cooking makes the process smooth.

Step 3: Cook the Chicken
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of cooking oil and 1 tablespoon of butter to the hot, empty section of the griddle. Place the thinly sliced chicken pieces on the griddle. Cook for 3-5 minutes, turning often, until the chicken is fully cooked through and no pink remains.
Step 4: Combine & Season
Bring the cooked chicken and vegetables together in the center of the griddle. Add the minced garlic, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Stir everything well to coat evenly and heat through for another minute or two. Serve your hibachi chicken hot.

A side of white rice and your favorite homemade yum yum sauce makes this hibachi chicken meal even better. You can also add other veggies like mushrooms or broccoli.
