Ingredients

  • 2 pounds chicken thighs boneless, skinless, cut into bite sized chunks
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil plus more for griddle
  • 2 tablespoons Out Grilling SPG Seasoning or all purpose seasoning salt
  • 1 cup pure maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons Louisiana Hot Sauce
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
  • 1 package stir fry vegetables fresh or frozen
  • fresh cilantro optional for serving

Instructions

  • Toss chicken with 2 tablespoons olive oil and 1 1/2 tablespoons SPG seasoning.
  • Drizzle 1 tablespoon olive oil over vegetables and season with 1/2 tablespoon SPG seasoning.
  • Make the sauce: In a small pan, combine maple syrup, hot sauce, minced garlic and smoked paprika. Cook over medium-high heat, whisking occasionally. Bring to a low boil, cook 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • Preheat your Blackstone griddle over medium-high heat. Add beef tallow or olive oil and let it melt across the surface.
  • Add chicken pieces in a single layer on one side and vegetables on the other. Cook, turning occasionally, until fully cooked.
  • Scoop chicken into the pan with sauce and toss to coat. Return chicken to the griddle, reserving excess sauce, cooking for another 2–3 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the stir fry.
  • Remove from heat, garnish with fresh chopped cilantro if desired and serve hot. Drizzle with remaining sauce if desired.

Notes

  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 3 days.
  • Reheating: Reheat on a skillet or griddle over medium heat until warmed through. Microwave works too but you’ll lose some texture.
  • Variations:
    • Swap chicken thighs for chicken tenders
    • Add noodles or cooked rice for a complete meal
    • Try honey instead of maple syrup for a different kind of sweetness
  • Stove-Top: Cook on a griddle pan or wok on the stovetop if you don't have a Blackstone.
