    What is the best thing to cook on a Blackstone griddle?

    If you’re just getting started, try easy Blackstone recipes for breakfast foods like griddle bacon, eggs, and pancakes…

    Or try other foods you’ve tried cooking inside on a cast iron skillet, like smash burgers or grilled cheese sandwiches. 

    Blackstone griddle recipes for hibachi steak with veggies and fried rice

    Fried rice is a very easy side dish cooked on a flat top griddle.

    Try this recipe for scrambled eggs on griddle flattops…

    Once you’ve mastered the basics of working the flat top griddle for recipes you’re familiar with, move on to Philly cheese steaks…

    And elaborate breakfast spreads with hash browns, eggs, and quesadillas.

    Fajitas on the Blackstone

    One of my favorite Mexican dinners to cook on the flattop is a big fajitas platter.

    Griddle corn on the cob

    Easy, delicious, juicy and full of flavor… this is definitely a step up from “regular” corn on the cob…

    Blackstone griddle chicken recipes

    Chicken breast

    Some of the best chicken recipes for Blackstone griddle cooking are made with chicken breast…

    Cooking chicken breast on griddle

    Because it’s an easier cut of poultry to cook evenly, than say, grilled chicken thighs.

    Learn more in this chicken temperature guide…

    You can turn something like this recipe for chicken breast on stove into a Blackstone chicken recipe by using really thin chicken breasts so they cook quickly.

    See how to make griddled chicken breast in this video…

    See how to make a simple Traeger beer can chicken…

    Chicken stir fry noodles

    Use rice noodles and diced chicken breast to make a chicken stir fry on the griddle.

    Italian-style crispy chicken tenders

    One of my favorite ways to prepare chicken for easy weeknight meals is to make something like this recipe for chicken in tomato sauce.

    Crispy chicken tenders

    To make the crispy chicken tenders, all you need are a few skinless chicken breasts, parmesan cheese, and Italian style bread crumbs.

    Game day wings

    In my opinion, cooking chicken with bones in them isn’t necessarily my favorite Blackstone griddle recipe idea for beginners…

    Because it can be trickier to make sure they are done than cooking chicken breast, for example. 

    Get tips for grilling chicken wings…

    I’ll soon have a recipe for game day wings on the Blackstone.

    Load chicken kabobs up with veggies like peppers, zucchini, onions, and a little seasoning for a lighter option.

    Burger blackstone recipes

    Delicious burgers on the flattop start with simple ground beef prepared right.

    One of the best griddle hamburger recipes for beginners is cooking burger sliders. 

    They are easy to make for a crowd and cook very quickly.

    Philly-style smash burgers

    Blackstone griddle Philly cheesesteak burger recipe

    Philly cheesesteak smash burgers are a tasty (and very easy) twist on the classic cheesesteak sandwich.

    These burgers are made by smashing beef patties on a hot griddle and topping them with sautéed onions, red peppers, and melted cheddar cheese.
