Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil or avocado oil
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon water
  • Optional: a pinch of cayenne pepper

Instructions

  1. Trim any excess fat from the chicken thighs and pat dry with paper towels.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, and a pinch of salt.
  3. Toss the chicken pieces in the seasoning mixture until evenly coated and marinate for at least 10 minutes.
  4. While the chicken marinates, whisk together mayonnaise, ketchup, rice vinegar, garlic powder, smoked paprika, sugar, and cayenne pepper (if using) in a small bowl.
  5. Add water one teaspoon at a time until the sauce reaches a creamy but pourable consistency. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
  6. Preheat the Blackstone griddle to medium-high heat (around 375°F). Add vegetable oil and spread evenly.
  7. Place chicken thighs on the hot griddle in a single layer with space between pieces.
  8. Cook for 5-6 minutes on the first side without moving until a golden crust forms.
  9. Flip the chicken and cook for another 4-5 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  10. Remove chicken from griddle and let rest for 3-5 minutes.
  11. Slice chicken into bite-sized pieces and drizzle generously with creamy yum yum sauce. Serve immediately.
