Blackstone Chicken Fried Rice
Just use some chicken, rice leftovers, and our seasoning to have a scrumptious meal. In just 30 minutes The Kitchen Bucket List has you covered on those busy weeknights.
Equipment
- Large griddle or pan (We used a 36-inch griddle)
- 2 Griddle Spatulas
- BBQ tongs
- BBQ scraper (Optional)
Ingredients
- 6 cups cooked rice, preferably a day-old
- 2 cups rotisserie chicken
- 1 bag frozen tri-colored peppers and onion medley, 14.4 oz. bag (Prefered frozen vegetables)
- 4 tablespoons olive oil (Or your preferred oil)
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon celery seed
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
Gather your ingredients and preheat
- Preheat the griddle to low, about 350 degrees F.
- Combine salt, onion powder, garlic powder, ground black pepper, and celery seed in a bowl to make the seasoning.
- Dice your chicken into bite-sized pieces or your preferred size.
- Once the griddle is at 350 degrees F. turn a side burner off. It will be your holding area for the chicken and vegetables later.
Warm up the ingredients for the fried rice
- Swirl 1 tablespoon of olive oil onto the griddle, add the diced chicken, and mix. Then add 1 teaspoon of the seasoning. Taste.NOTE: Depending on the flavor of the chicken you may need to add more seasoning.
- I found that the rotisserie chicken needed more seasoning. I added 1 tablespoon of olive oil and mixed it. Then add 1 more teaspoon of seasoning and mixed.
- Let it sit for 1 minute then mix a final time and rest for one more additional minute.
- The chicken should be thoroughly rewarmed now. Place the chicken over to the side holding area.
- Increase heat to medium for the frozen veggies.
- Pour the frozen veggies on the griddle, and mix.
- Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to coat them.
- Evenly coat the veggies with 2 teaspoons of the seasonings. Depending on your griddle and veggie choice you may need to add some more oil.
- Mix every 60 to 90 seconds. After 5 minutes, the veggies should be heated through.
- Combine the veggies and chicken and mix for one minute. Set aside in the holding area.
Put it all together
- Reduce heat to low, swirl 1 tablespoon of oil where the rice will be on the griddle, and add the rice. Warm up for 2 to 3 minutes, mixing occasionally.NOTE: You may need more oil depending on how well your griddle is seasoned.
- While the rice is warming up whisk the 3 eggs in a bowl until both the yolks and whites are combined in a uniform color.
- Once the rice is warmed, create a well and add the eggs into it, mix well.
- The eggs will start to get creamy as they combine with the rice. Keep mixing until the eggs are set and well combined. Then thoroughly mix the rice to distribute the rice-egg mixture evenly.
- Now let's put it all together by adding the veggies and chicken. Mix everything thoroughly to start combining all the flavors.
- Swirl the soy sauce over the fried rice to your liking. We added about 2 tablespoons. Mix until combined.
- Taste test time. This is why I enjoy cooking fried rice. You get to taste along the way. I felt it needed another 1 teaspoon of our seasoning.
- Mix well one more time and let it rest for a minute or so with the burners off. I feel this lets all those wonderful flavors infuse together.
- Serve and Enjoy!
