Looking for a simple and tasty way to cook chicken thighs? Blackstone Griddle Chicken Thighs will blow your mind. The marinade is lively and full of flavor, so your chicken thighs will be juicy and tender. And let’s not forget the griddle, which makes the outside deliciously crisp.
We often grill chicken at home, and I’m currently obsessed with making it on my Blackstone Griddle, especially when making these chicken wings. You can even venture to make this El Pollo Loco Chicken on your griddle—just follow the marinade recipe, and the grilling method stays the same. Try it, and enjoy the delicious results!
In a bowl, mix the mayonnaise, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, honey, paprika, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, thyme, and cayenne until smooth.
Add the chicken thighs to a dish or zip-top bag. Pour the marinade over the chicken and turn each piece until well coated.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for stronger flavor. Before cooking, let the chicken sit at room temperature for 15–20 minutes so it cooks more evenly.
Heat the Blackstone griddle to medium-high, about 350°F to 400°F. Add the duck fat and spread it across the cooking surface.
Remove the chicken from the marinade and let the extra drip off. Discard the used marinade.
Place the chicken thighs on the hot griddle in a single layer. Cook for 6–7 minutes on the first side without moving them too much, so they can brown.
Flip and cook for another 6–8 minutes, or until the thickest part reaches 165°F.
If the outside is browning too fast, move the chicken to a cooler part of the griddle and let it finish cooking there.
Transfer the chicken thighs to a plate and loosely cover with foil. Rest for 5 minutes before serving so the juices stay in the meat.
Here are some tasty side dish choices to serve alongside your wonderful griddled chicken thighs:
1. Garlic Mashed Potatoes: Creamy and delicious, this standard side dish matches the chicken beautifully.
2. Grilled Veggies: Asparagus, brussel sprouts, zucchini, bell peppers, or eggplant make for a healthy and lively addition.
3. Corn on the Cob: Grilled or boiled, corn on the cob is a summer treat that goes well with chicken.
4. Rice Pilaf: A tasty rice pilaf with herbs and spices adds a bit of grace to the meal.
5. Green Beans Almondine: Delicate green beans sautéed with almonds and garlic make for a tasty and refined side.
6. Mac and Cheese: A comforting, cheesy macaroni dish is always a crowd-pleaser.
7. Dinner Rolls or Warm Bread: Serve fresh, crusty bread or delicate dinner rolls with butter to complete the meal. I suggest these Texas Roadhouse Rolls.

1 ½ Tbsp softened butter (salted or unsalted)
1 Tbsp Parmesan cheese, finely grated
⅙ tsp garlic powder
Pinch of salt (if using unsalted butter)
4 slices sourdough bread
4 slices mozzarella cheese
4 slices white cheddar cheese
1. Make the butter spread
In a small bowl, mix softened butter, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt (if using unsalted butter). Stir until smooth and spreadable.
2. Prep the bread
Spread the butter mixture evenly on one side of each bread slice.
3. Assemble the sandwiches
On the unbuttered side of two bread slices, layer the mozzarella and white cheddar cheese. Top with the remaining bread slices, buttered side facing out.
4. Grill the sandwiches
Heat a griddle or large skillet over medium-low heat. Place the sandwiches in the pan and cook for 4–5 minutes per side, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.
5. Slice and serve
Cut in half and enjoy hot.
1. Preheat the air fryer
Set your air fryer to 360°F (182°C).
2. Prepare and assemble
Spread the butter mixture on one side of each slice of sourdough bread. Layer the mozzarella and cheddar between two slices, keeping the buttered sides facing out.
3. Air fry
Place the sandwiches in the basket. Cook for 4–6 minutes per side, or until golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Use good-quality sourdough for the most authentic Starbucks flavor.
For extra crispiness, press the sandwiches lightly with a spatula while cooking.
Add a drizzle of honey or a slice of tomato for a gourmet twist.
Refrigerator: Wrap leftovers tightly and store in the fridge for up to 2 days.
Reheat: Warm in a skillet or air fryer until the bread crisps up and the cheese melts again.
Freezer: Not recommended, as melted cheese doesn’t freeze and reheat well.

During a recent trip to Italy, I found an incredible Chocolate Gelato that made a lasting impression on me. This classic Italian dessert has a flavor that is rich and sophisticated.
Imagine walking along the cobblestone streets of Italy with the sun warming your face and the sound of people laughing in the distance filling the air. Suddenly, the smell of rich, velvety chocolate draws you to a charming gelateria.
That, my friends, is the real chocolate gelato experience we’re about to recreate! This delicious recipe, which was made with love and passion, captures the spirit of traditional Italian gelato while being easy to make at home.
This delicious gelato is an irresistible treat for chocolate lovers, regardless of the time of year or occasion.
This authentic Italian Chocolate Gelato is a delicious frozen dessert made with egg yolks, cocoa powder, and silky melted dark chocolate. It will surely please your taste buds and rekindle your love for this classic dessert.
Let your taste buds guide you when choosing the right chocolate for your gelato. Choose chocolate with a higher or lower percentage of cocoa, depending on how bitter you like it. For a truly delicious experience, we recommend 70% dark chocolate that is rich and smooth.
And don’t worry, whether you have an ice cream maker or not, we’ve got you covered. Prepare to be amazed as we show you how to make the best chocolate gelato at home, with or without the help of an ice cream maker. Let the fun with chocolate begin!
In a saucepan, whisk together the cocoa powder and 1/3 cup of the sugar.
Add the cold milk slowly while whisking, then place the saucepan over low heat. Warm the mixture for about 5 minutes, stirring often. Do not let it boil.
Add the chopped dark chocolate and stir until fully melted and smooth.
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks with the remaining sugar until the mixture looks lighter and slightly thickened.
Slowly pour a little of the warm chocolate milk into the egg yolks while whisking constantly. Add the rest gradually, whisking the whole time so the eggs do not scramble.
Pour the mixture back into the saucepan. Cook over low heat for about 5 minutes, stirring constantly, until slightly thickened.
The custard is ready when it lightly coats the back of a spoon. Keep the heat gentle and do not let it boil.
Remove from the heat, then stir in the cold heavy cream and vanilla extract.
If using a compressor ice cream maker, pour the mixture into the machine once it is no longer hot and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Most machines will take about 30–40 minutes, or until the gelato is thick, creamy, and softly frozen.
Transfer to a container and freeze until firm enough to scoop.
Pour the chocolate mixture into a freezer-safe container and chill it in the fridge for about 30 minutes.
Move the container to the freezer. Every 30 minutes, whisk the mixture well, breaking up the frozen edges and smoothing everything back together.
Repeat for about 4–5 hours, or until the gelato becomes thick and creamy.
Let the gelato sit at room temperature for a few minutes before scooping.
Transfer your freshly made chocolate gelato to an airtight container; ideally one made for ice cream or gelato. This will help keep the right texture and prevent freezer burn.
Smooth the gelato’s surface and place a piece of plastic wrap or parchment paper on top of it. This will keep air from getting to the gelato and prevent ice crystals from forming.
To keep a consistent temperature, seal the container and put it in the coldest part of your freezer, which is usually the back.
When you’re ready to try your homemade Italian Chocolate Gelato, let it sit out at room temperature for about 5 to 10 minutes, depending on how warm your kitchen is. This will make the perfect consistency for scooping.
For an authentic Italian touch, use a gelato spade or a round ice cream scoop to make those perfect, mouth-watering curls of gelato. Serve in a chilled bowl or cone, and if you’re feeling especially decadent, top it with chocolate shavings, cocoa powder, or warm chocolate sauce.
