Honey Garlic Sauce
⅓ cup honey¼ cup soy sauce4 cloves fresh garlic, minced1 tbsp brown sugar1 tbsp rice vinegar1 tsp sesame oil½ tsp crushed red pepper flakes, optional
For Finishing
2 green onions, slicedSesame seeds, optional
👨🍳 Directions
1. Make the Honey Garlic Sauce
In a small bowl, combine the honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, brown sugar, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and crushed red pepper flakes.Whisk until everything is well combined and set aside.
2. Preheat the Blackstone
Preheat your Blackstone Griddle to medium-high heat.Create two cooking zones so you have plenty of room for both the chicken and vegetables.Add a light coating of avocado oil.
3. Season the Chicken
Season the chicken with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.Toss until every piece is evenly coated.
4. Cook the Chicken
Place the chicken onto the hot griddle and spread it into an even layer.Let it cook without constantly moving it around so those pieces can develop some beautiful color.Cook for approximately 6–8 minutes, tossing occasionally, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
5. Griddle the Vegetables
On the other side of the Blackstone, add the peppers, zucchini, and red onion.Season lightly with salt and black pepper.Cook for approximately 5–7 minutes, tossing occasionally.You want the vegetables tender with some caramelized edges while still having a little bite.
6. Bring Everything Together
Combine the chicken and vegetables in the center of the griddle.Pour the honey garlic sauce over everything.Now listen to that sizzle. 🔥Toss everything together continuously for approximately 1–2 minutes as the sauce bubbles, reduces, and begins coating the chicken and vegetables.
7. Finish & Serve
Once everything is beautifully glazed, remove it from the Blackstone.Finish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.Serve it by itself or over steamed white rice for a complete meal.
🌟 Bright Spots Pro Tip
Don't add the honey garlic sauce too early!There's plenty of sugar in both the honey and brown sugar, which means it can burn quickly on a hot Blackstone.Cook your chicken and vegetables first. Then bring everything together and add the sauce during the final couple of minutes.You'll get that sticky, glossy glaze without leaving a layer of burnt sugar behind on your griddle.
