Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts
- 4 ears corn
- 3 to 4 jalapenos
Supporting Ingredients:
- 0.5 red onion
- 4 to 5 cloves garlic
- 1 cup cilantro
- 2 to 3 tablespoons lime juice
Seasonings and Oil:
- Kosher salt
- Black pepper
- Fajita or taco seasoning
- 2 tablespoons cooking oil (avocado or olive oil)
Instructions
- Heat Blackstone griddle to 375°F. Spread 2 tablespoons cooking oil across surface for even coating.
- Sprinkle 2 teaspoons salt, 1 teaspoon pepper, and 2 tablespoons fajita seasoning over 2 pounds chicken pieces. Massage seasonings thoroughly.
- Arrange seasoned chicken on griddle. Cook 4-5 minutes per side until internal temperature reaches 165°F. Transfer to cooler griddle zone.
- Toss ½ diced red onion, 3 sliced jalapenos, and 4 minced garlic cloves onto hot griddle. Sauté 2-3 minutes until onions turn translucent.
- Add 4 ears of corn kernels to griddle. Spread evenly and cook 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally for light caramelization.

Notes
- Check chicken’s internal temperature reaches 165°F to ensure safe cooking.
- Slice jalapeños carefully and remove seeds for milder heat, keeping gloves on to protect hands.
- Fresh corn kernels work better than frozen for authentic char and sweeter flavor on the griddle.
- Adjust seasoning intensity by using mild or spicy fajita blend depending on heat preference.
