Love your favorite Hibachi style fried rice? Learn how to make Chicken Fried Rice on Blackstone Griddle! Great flavors, healthy, budget friendly and a 30 minute meal! No Blackstone griddle, no problem!

Add to that the versatility of this easy fried rice recipe by swapping ingredients to include your favorite veggies or flavors, now you’ve got yourself a Triple Crown winner – just like the local hibachi restaurant makes.

For all Asian food lovers, here’s another recipe you will fall in madly love with: Healthier Mongolian Beef and this succulent Asian Marinated Grilled Pork Tenderloin.

Healthy Twist

• Use as many organic and all-natural ingredients as possible. 
• Control the amount of sodium in Asian recipes by making them at home, and choosing a low-sodium soy sauce.
• Using avocado oil provides healthy fats like oleic acid, an unsaturated fat. It contains vitamin E and helps to lower LDL cholesterol while increasing HDL cholesterol. I love good food that’s good for my heart too!

Simple Ingredients

Full recipe with instructions in the printable recipe card at the end of the post.

• WHITE RICE | Use leftover rice. Make the sticky rice the day before or at least make sure it’s completely cooled. I prefer short-grain like Jasmine rice… Brown rice is nice too. 
• AVOCADO OIL | Avocado oil has a high smoke point and it is nutritious too. Vegetable oil and canola oil work as well.
• CHICKEN BREAST | If you prefer dark meat, use boneless skinless chicken thighs or both. 
• SWEET ONION | You’ll want that sweet and milder flavor of using sweet onions- but a yellow onion will do.
• VEGGIES | Make sure the carrots, zucchini, and bell pepper are diced into small pieces for quick cooking and to blend well with the rice mixture. Then throw in some peas, too. 
• GARLIC & GINGER | These aromatic flavors are game-changers and they are good for you. The recipe calls for both the fresh ginger and garlic to be minced. 
• SESAME OIL | Use regular or toasted, personally, I like toasted sesame oil for a rich nutty flavor.
• SOY SAUCE | Use Tamari or Bragg’s Liquid Aminos for gluten-free options. 
• OYSTER SAUCE OR FISH SAUCE | If you’ve never tried it, here’s your chance. (See the FAQs about the difference.)
• EGGS | Beaten eggs are scrambled in – just like the pros do.
• SALT & PEPPER | Add according to taste and remember, soy sauce is a salt, so don’t add too much.
• GARNISH | Sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds. Don’t forget this all-important topping to give it a finished look and taste. 

How to Make Chicken Fried Rice Recipe on Blackstone Griddle

Step 1 | Prep the Ingredients

Let’s make this Blackstone fried rice! Gather the ingredients and do all the prepping first to make it easier when adding to the dish.

Dice, measure, and chop everything out. If you are not using leftover rice and need to make new- you can use a rice cooker or your Instant Pot, but be sure to cool the rice completely.

Preheat the Blackstone Griddle to medium-high heat. Once it’s hot, add a few tablespoons of oil. 

Step 2 | Cook the meat

Sprinkle the chicken with a bit of salt and pepper, then place it on the griddle to cook. After the chicken is partially cooked, move it to the side to finish cooking it. 

Step 3 | Add the Veggies

On the open side of the griddle, add a little more oil and let it heat for a minute. Add the onions, carrots, and red bell pepper and allow it to cook for 3-4 minutes or until it’s tender. Add the zucchini, ginger, and garlic and cook for another minute. 

Step 4 | Combine Rice and Mixture

Pour your cooled day-old rice over the vegetable mixture and mix it all together. Use a metal spatula to flip and turn the rice and veggie mixture until it’s well blended. If your rice sticks to the griddle, add a little more oil. 

If you’re using fresh peas, go ahead and add now and stir it to mix well. 

Step 5 | Oil and Fish Sauce

Add the sesame oil and fish sauce to the rice mixture. Keep stirring to ensure it’s mixed well and to keep it from sticking. 

If you’re using frozen peas, add them now and continue to flip and turn the mixture on the Blackstone top. 

Remember, if it starts sticking, adding a little more oil is okay. 

Step 6 | Scramble the Eggs

Pour on the soy sauce, and ensure it’s mixed thoroughly. Push the cooked rice to the side slightly and add a little more oil, or a few teaspoons of butter will work fine too. Last step- quickly scramble the eggs and mix that into the fried rice mixture. 

That’s it! You have Chicken Fried Rice ready to be garnished with sesame seeds and green onions and served.  

And that my friend, is how to make chicken fried rice on Blackstone!

Variations & Substitutions

• Soy Sauce – If you or a family member is concerned about the sodium in the soy sauce, use low sodium soy sauce. I personally love using Bragg’s liquid aminos for this dish or gluten-free Tamari. A word of caution: start slow. Take a little taste and then add a bit more. You’ll notice the sauce evaporates quicker on the Blackstone than in a pan since the griddle gets much hotter. 
• Garlic Powder – Feel free to use garlic powder if you are out of fresh garlic.
• Fresh or Frozen Peas – Feel free to substitute the peas and carrots with 1 ½ cups frozen, and there’s no need to thaw.
• Veggies – Use your favorite veggies! There aren’t any rules here. Want to use mushrooms? Add them. Prefer green bell peppers? Use them instead. Don’t have zucchini? Leave it out! This dish is what I like to call a clean-out-the-fridge meal. And red pepper adds fantastic color.
• Nuts & Seeds – Peanuts are a common addition to stir fry, but whatever nuts or seeds you like can be added, like sesame seeds, almonds, or cashews, for a nice crunch. 
• Change your Meat – Use beef, pork, shrimp or scallops instead!

Recommended Equipment

• I used this tabletop version, which is great for tailgating, camping or just bringing out in the summertime and storing in the garage for winter.

• Hibachi Spatulas are a fun and useful tool addition to your kitchen equipment, feel like a real pro making this hibachi chicken fried rice recipe.
• No Hibachi? No problem, make on your favorite griddle, electric griddle or wok!

Storage Tips

• You can store leftover fried rice in the refrigerator for 2-3 days in an airtight container or freeze them for up to two months.
• Place leftovers in a freezer zippered bag, push all the air from the bag, then seal. 
• For a fast meal to grab-and-go, portion out your leftover Blackstone chicken fried rice in quart-sized plastic bags.

Fresh Tips

Storage Tips

• You can store leftover fried rice in the refrigerator for 2-3 days in an airtight container or freeze them for up to two months.
• For a fast meal to grab-and-go, portion out your leftover Blackstone chicken fried rice in quart-sized plastic bags.

Don’t be afraid of fish sauce or oyster sauce, they pack so much flavor!!! And coming from a girl who hates “fishy” there is nothing fishy about these sauces!

Use your favorite veggies! This is a clean out the fridge meal, use up aging veggies, use mushrooms, peppers, summer squash, whatever you have!

Have a family who likes eggs, scramble a little more into the fried rice, use less or serve on the side for those who do not. 

Soy Sauce | If concerned about sodium, use low sodium soy sauce, I personally love using Bragg’s liquid aminos for this dish or gluten-free Tamari. Start slow, take a little taste, add a bit more. The sauce evaporates quicker on the Blackstone than in a pan since the griddle gets so much hotter. 

May replace the peas and carrots with 1 ½ cups frozen – no need to thaw.

Make on the Stovetop or Electric Griddle

Follow the same instructions using a large skillet, electric griddle or wok to make your chicken fried rice. If necessary, remove ingredient components from the pan or griddle as you finish them to allow for space to do the next step.

Combining everything together at the end to reheat and serve.
