A favorite Blackstone Griddle recipe with endless variations is fried rice. Yum. I was first inspired to try griddling chicken fried rice after viewing the Waltwins make it on YouTube. Recently, the twins revisited their popular chicken fried rice recipe with an updated video. They offer some tips and tricks they’ve learned with practice to make cooking fried rice even easier than it already is.
If you watch the video linked above, you’ll see that the Waltwins use a four-burner Blackstone, so they have plenty of griddle space to make their chicken fried rice. It’s more challenging to make fried rice on my 17″ Blackstone with the amount of food that ends up on the cook surface, but it’s not impossible.
The Waltwins also precook their rice the day before and store it in the fridge overnight to dry it out. When we’re camping, we don’t have the refrigerator space to do that, so I use prepackaged microwaveable jasmine rice. I do not cook the rice in the package however; rather, I open the package, empty the contents on the griddle, and cook it there.
Truly, though, once you have the basic recipe and cooking method figured out, griddling fried rice on the Blackstone is easy, not to mention delicious! And, you can put your own spin on it: use whatever protein and vegetables you like. I use chicken mostly, but I change up the veggies.

My Blackstone Fried Rice Creations
Here are some variations of fried rice dishes that I griddled up while camping:
At the end of the camping season, I didn’t want to leave my Blackstone stored away in the camper, so I brought it home. Now, we can enjoy Blackstone Fried Rice anytime we want!
