This Blackstone BBQ Chicken is the best way to enjoy a summer cookout without needing a traditional BBQ smoker.

Whether you’re cooking for family or hosting friends, this recipe is easy to follow and sure to impress.

The combination of savory garlic, Worcestershire sauce, and BBQ seasoning gives the chicken a burst of flavor, while the Blackstone grill ensures it cooks perfectly, with a crispy crust and juicy inside.

And don’t even get me started on the side of BBQ corn—it’s the perfect companion to this dish!

Why Are Blackstone Chicken Recipes the Best?

Blackstone griddles provide even heat distribution, which ensures that your chicken cooks uniformly—no more undercooked or overcooked spots.

The high heat sears the chicken beautifully, locking in moisture, while the grill’s surface makes it easy to cook multiple pieces at once. Plus, you can add BBQ sauce towards the end for a sticky, caramelized finish.

What Temp to Cook Chicken on Blackstone?

When cooking chicken on a Blackstone griddle, aim for a temperature of around 375-400°F. This ensures that the chicken cooks quickly without drying out and gives it that perfect crispy exterior.

If you’re cooking boneless chicken breasts, they should reach an internal temperature of 165°F for safety and flavor.

How to Make Blackstone BBQ Chicken And Corn?

It’s super simple! You’ll start by prepping your chicken with seasoning, garlic, and a touch of Worcestershire sauce.

Then, cook the chicken on your Blackstone griddle to golden perfection. Toss some corn on the side for a complete meal. With the right tips and tricks, you’ll have restaurant-quality BBQ chicken right in your backyard.

• Course: Main Course
• Difficulty: Easy
• Yield: 4 servings
• Calories per Serving: 350 kcal (without BBQ sauce)

Ingredients:

Here’s everything you need to create your Blackstone BBQ Chicken:

• 1 ½ pounds chicken breasts (or boneless, skinless chicken thighs)
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 3 to 4 cloves garlic, finely minced
• Kosher salt and pepper, to taste
• 1 tablespoon BBQ seasoning blend (use your favorite)
• 2 tablespoons melted butter
• 4 ears corn on the cob, shucked
• 3 tablespoons oil (vegetable, canola, or olive oil)
• Optional: BBQ sauce for glazing

Ingredient Notes:

• Chicken: You can use either chicken breasts or thighs. Thighs are a bit juicier, but chicken breasts are leaner. Both work beautifully on the Blackstone!
• BBQ Seasoning: Feel free to customize your BBQ seasoning blend. You can add onion powder, mesquite seasoning, or even a pinch of red pepper for a kick.
• Corn: The grilled corn adds a sweet, smoky flavor to the meal. If you’re feeling fancy, brush it with a bit of butter and sprinkle some seasoning over it for extra flavor.

Instructions:

1. Prep the Chicken:

Start by patting your chicken dry with a paper towel. Rub it with the Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, BBQ seasoning, salt, and pepper. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes to soak in the flavors.

2. Preheat the Blackstone:

Preheat your Blackstone griddle to medium-high heat (around 375°F). Add the oil and spread it across the surface.

3. Cook the Chicken:

Place your seasoned chicken on the griddle. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. You should see some crispy edges as it cooks.

4. Grill the Corn:

While the chicken is cooking, brush your corn with melted butter and sprinkle a pinch of salt. Place the corn on the griddle and cook, turning occasionally, for about 8-10 minutes until it’s nicely charred.

5. Glaze the Chicken (Optional):

During the last few minutes of cooking, brush your chicken with BBQ sauce for an extra layer of flavor. Let the sauce caramelize on the chicken for a delicious finish.

6. Serve and Enjoy:

Once your chicken and corn are ready, serve them up! You’ll love how the crispy, smoky chicken pairs perfectly with the sweet, charred corn. Enjoy!

Tips and Variations

✔ Marinated Chicken: For an extra layer of flavor, marinate your chicken in the BBQ seasoning and Worcestershire sauce for 2-4 hours before cooking.

✔ BBQ Sauce Variations: Use your favorite BBQ sauce or try something different like a honey mustard BBQ sauce or a spicy chipotle BBQ sauce for a twist.

✔ Storage Tips: If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet or on the Blackstone griddle to keep the chicken crispy.

Serving Suggestions

This Blackstone BBQ Chicken goes perfectly with a side of grilled veggies, a fresh salad, or even some mashed potatoes. For a fun twist, try serving it with a side of coleslaw for that classic BBQ vibe.

Storing Tips

If you have leftovers, make sure to store the chicken and corn separately in airtight containers.

The chicken can be reheated in a skillet on medium heat, and the corn can be reheated on the griddle for that fresh-off-the-grill taste.
