Equipment
Method
- Preheat your Blackstone griddle to medium-high heat and lightly oil the cooking surface.
- In a large bowl, combine chicken pieces with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, pepper, paprika, and onion powder. Mix thoroughly to ensure even coating.
- Allow the seasoned chicken to marinate for at least 15 minutes at room temperature for optimal flavor absorption.
- Place the marinated chicken pieces on the preheated griddle, ensuring they don't overlap for even cooking.
- Cook for 4-5 minutes without moving, allowing the chicken to develop a golden-brown crust.
- Flip the chicken pieces and continue cooking for another 4-5 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- While the chicken finishes cooking, melt the butter in a small pan and sauté the remaining minced garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Remove the chicken from the griddle and immediately toss with the garlic butter mixture while still hot.
- Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the hot chicken, allowing it to melt and create a crispy coating.
- Add fresh parsley, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes, tossing gently to combine all ingredients.
- Serve immediately while hot, garnished with lemon wedges and additional parsley for a fresh finish.
- For best results, serve on warmed plates to maintain the optimal temperature and texture contrast.
Notes
For extra flavor, marinate chicken for up to 2 hours. Can be served on skewers for parties or sliced over salads. Store leftovers in refrigerator for up to 3 days.
