Chicken breast
Some of the best chicken recipes for Blackstone griddle cooking are made with chicken breast…
Because it’s an easier cut of poultry to cook evenly, than say, grilled chicken thighs.

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.
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.

Meat thermometer recommendations
Every home chef needs a reliable meat thermometer to cook food perfectly.
On Sip Bite Go, you’ll often see me using:
- Meater thermometer – a fancy wireless thermometer that connects to a phone app – gifted to me from a Traeger partnership.
- ThermoPro digital thermometer – which has a wire that connects the thermometer to a display box outside the oven/grill.
It’s like being psychic! The great thing about either of the thermometers above is that I don’t have to take the food out of the oven to know the temperature.
How to use ‘em… What I do is stick the digital thermometer in steak, pork, chicken, whatever… Then put the food in the oven, on the smoker, or grill.
While the meat cooks, it reads the temperature so I know exactly what temp meat is as it’s cooking. Without having to take it out and check. It’s really difficult to overcook food when you know exactly what temp it is inside!
Are you a foodie, too?
Hey home chef, hope that answers all your questions about what’s best to cook on a Blackstone griddle, especially for the first time.

Enjoy griddle cooking and see you soon!
