Lemon Herb Chicken Thighs
Vibrant lemons and fresh herbs turn chicken thighs into a juicy, golden-crusted weeknight hero. Sear them on the Blackstone for a smoky char that locks in all the flavor.
Serving: 4 | Prep Time: 10 minutes | Cooking Time: 15 minutes
Ingredients
For the Chicken and Marinade
- 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (about 1.5 lbs)
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
- 2 tablespoons rich extra virgin olive oil
- 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon finely ground black pepper
Instructions
- Pat chicken thighs dry with paper towels to ensure crispy skin.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic, rosemary, thyme, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- Add chicken thighs to the bowl and turn to coat evenly. Let marinate at room temperature for 15 minutes (or up to 2 hours in the fridge).
- While chicken marinates, preheat your Blackstone griddle to medium-high heat (about 400°F).
- Place chicken thighs skin-side down on the preheated griddle. Do not overcrowd; cook in batches if needed.
- Sear for 6-7 minutes without moving, until the skin is deep golden and crispy.
- Flip chicken and cook for another 6-8 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 165°F when tested with an instant-read thermometer.
- Transfer to a cutting board and let rest 5 minutes before serving. Tip: Resting locks in juices.
Finish with a final squeeze of lemon and a sprinkle of fresh herbs. The crispy skin gives way to tender, juicy meat bursting with citrus — perfect alongside a lemony arugula salad or roasted baby potatoes.

Teriyaki Chicken Stir Fry
Everyone needs a weeknight hero—this teriyaki chicken stir fry is it. Crisp veggies, tender chicken, and a glossy sweet-savory sauce come together in under 20 minutes. Bold flavors, fast execution.
Serving: 4 | Prep Time: 15 minutes | Cooking Time: 12 minutes
Ingredients
For the Teriyaki Sauce
- 1/3 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons mirin
- 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
- 2 cloves garlic, finely minced
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch dissolved in 2 tablespoons water
For the Stir Fry
- 1.5 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons neutral oil (like avocado or canola), divided
- 2 cups crisp broccoli florets
- 1 large sweet bell pepper (red or orange), thinly sliced
- 1 medium carrot, julienned
- 3 green onions, sliced (whites and greens separated)
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds for garnish
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, mirin, grated ginger, minced garlic, and sesame oil. Set the teriyaki sauce aside.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk the cornstarch slurry (1 tbsp cornstarch + 2 tbsp water) until smooth. Keep near the stove.
- Toss chicken pieces with 2 tablespoons cornstarch until evenly coated. This creates a light crust that soaks up sauce beautifully.
- Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat until shimmering. Add chicken in a single layer (work in batches if needed) and sear without stirring for 2 minutes. Flip and cook another 2 minutes until golden and cooked through. Transfer to a plate.
- Reduce heat to medium-high and add remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Toss in broccoli, bell pepper, and carrot. Stir-fry for 3 minutes until crisp-tender—they should still have a bite.
- Return chicken to the wok. Pour in the teriyaki sauce and bring to a simmer. Stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook for 1 minute until the sauce thickens and coats everything. Toss in white parts of green onions.
- Serve immediately over steamed rice. Garnish with reserved green onion tops and toasted sesame seeds.
Drizzle any extra sauce over the rice and sprinkle with extra sesame seeds for a nutty finish. The balance of sticky-sweet teriyaki and fresh, crunchy vegetables makes this a go-to meal that feels anything but rushed.
