A quick and easy chicken fried rice recipe cooked on a Blackstone griddle, delivering a smoky char and perfect texture using day-old rice and simple ingredients.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, diced or shredded (rotisserie chicken recommended)
  • 4 cups day-old white rice (about 900g), cold
  • 1 cup diced carrots
  • 1/2 cup frozen peas
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce (low-sodium preferred)
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (can substitute canola or avocado oil)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Blackstone griddle on medium-high heat for about 5 minutes until hot but not smoking.
  2. Add 1 tablespoon vegetable oil and pour in the beaten eggs. Stir gently to scramble until just set, then remove eggs to a bowl.
  3. Add remaining vegetable oil, then toss in minced garlic and grated ginger. Cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Add diced carrots and peas; cook for 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp.
  5. Stir in diced chicken and cook until warmed through, about 2 minutes.
  6. Crumble cold rice with your hands to break up clumps, then spread evenly across the griddle. Let sit undisturbed for a couple of minutes to develop a slight crust before stirring.
  7. Drizzle soy sauce and sesame oil over the rice. Toss everything together with a spatula to combine, spreading out the rice again to cook evenly. Repeat tossing and spreading a few times.
  8. Fold scrambled eggs back into the rice along with chopped green onions. Stir to combine and heat through for another minute.
  9. Taste and adjust salt and pepper as needed. Remove from heat and serve immediately.

Notes

Use day-old rice to prevent sogginess and achieve perfect texture. Avoid overcrowding the griddle to keep rice crispy. Scramble eggs separately to keep them tender. Adjust soy sauce to control saltiness. If rice sticks, add a splash of water or more oil.
