FAQs

How do I prevent the chicken from drying out?

Use chicken thighs for juicier results or avoid overcooking breast meat by slicing it thin and cooking quickly.

Can I make this without a Blackstone griddle?

Yes! A large cast-iron skillet or wok on the stovetop works well too.

What oil is best for stir frying on a griddle?

Use oils with a high smoke point like vegetable oil, avocado oil, or canola oil.

Can I use frozen vegetables?

Yes, but thaw and pat them dry first to avoid excess moisture.

How do I thicken the stir fry sauce?

Add a cornstarch slurry (cornstarch mixed with water) and cook until the sauce thickens.

Is this dish gluten-free?

It can be made gluten-free by using tamari instead of soy sauce and a gluten-free hoisin sauce.

Can I meal prep this?

Absolutely. Portion into containers with rice or noodles and refrigerate for easy meals throughout the week.

Can I cook everything at once?

It’s better to cook the chicken first, then the vegetables, and combine at the end to ensure even cooking.

Do I need to marinate the chicken?

Not required, but you can marinate it in a bit of soy sauce, garlic, and sesame oil for 30 minutes for extra flavor.

Can I double the recipe?

Yes! Just make sure not to overcrowd the griddle—cook in batches if needed.
