Blackstone BBQ Chicken Burgers
Description
Juicy chicken breasts seared on the griddle, glazed in smoky BBQ sauce, and stacked with crispy bacon, sweet onion, and creamy mayo on a toasted brioche bun.
Ingredients
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/2 cup BBQ sauce, divided
- 2 pieces shredded lettuce
- 2 slices tomato
- 2 slices sweet onion
- 2 brioche buns
- 2 pieces bacon, cooked
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Oil, for the griddle
Instructions
- Prep the chicken. Butterfly or pound the chicken breasts to an even 1/2-inch thickness. Pat dry and season both sides with salt and pepper.
- Preheat the griddle. Heat the Blackstone to medium (about 375°F) for 5 minutes, then add a thin layer of oil.
- Crisp the bacon. Cook the bacon until crispy, 2–3 minutes per side, then move to the cooler edge to keep warm.
- Cook the chicken. Griddle the chicken 4–5 minutes per side, flipping once, until golden.
- Glaze. In the last 2 minutes, brush both sides with BBQ sauce and cook until caramelized and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- Toast and build. Toast the buns on the griddle. Spread mayo on the bottom bun, then layer lettuce, tomato, chicken, bacon, and onion. Add extra BBQ sauce, top with the bun, and serve.
Equipment
- Blackstone Griddle, or Flat-Top Griddle
- Cooking Oil
- Spatula
Notes
- Use a meat thermometer and pull the chicken right at 165°F to keep it juicy.
- Swap in boneless, skinless chicken thighs for an even more forgiving, extra-juicy result.
- Add a slice of cheddar or pepper jack in the last minute for a cheesy version.
