Ingredients
Scale
Chicken Marinade
- 1½ lbs chicken breasts or boneless thighs, diced
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 3–4 garlic cloves, minced
- Kosher salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- Your favorite barbecue seasoning, to taste
- 2 tbsp melted butter
Grilled Corn
- 4 ears of corn on the cob, shucked
- Cooking oil (any kind), for greasing the griddle
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken Marinade: In a large bowl, toss the diced chicken with Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, a generous sprinkle of kosher salt, black pepper, and your favorite barbecue seasoning. Drizzle melted butter over the mixture and stir to coat the chicken evenly. Cover and let it marinate for 15 to 30 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- Preheat the Griddle: While the chicken marinates, preheat your Blackstone griddle over medium-high heat. Lightly coat the griddle surface with cooking oil to prevent sticking.
- Grill the Corn: Place the shucked ears of corn directly onto the hot griddle. Rotate each ear every few minutes to ensure even charring on all sides. Grill for about 10 to 12 minutes or until tender and nicely charred. Remove from heat and keep warm.
- Cook the Chicken: Spread the marinated chicken in a single layer on the preheated griddle. Cook, flipping occasionally, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through, approximately 8 to 10 minutes.
- Serve: Arrange the grilled chicken and charred corn on serving plates or a platter. Optionally, drizzle your favorite barbecue sauce over the chicken before serving for an extra burst of flavor.
Notes
- Marinating the chicken for at least 30 minutes enhances flavor, but you can marinate up to 2 hours for more intensity.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for safety.
- Rotate corn frequently for even grilling and prevent burning.
- Butter or olive oil can be brushed on corn after grilling for added richness and flavor.
- You can substitute fresh corn with frozen corn on the cob if out of season, adjusting grilling time accordingly.
- Serve with a side of coleslaw or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
