Instructions
- 1Preheat the Blackstone griddle to medium heat (about 375–400°F).
- 2Toss the chicken thighs with avocado oil and Chicken Dust until evenly coated.
- 3Place chicken directly on the dry griddle (no extra oil needed). Cook 6–8 minutes per side until nicely browned and internal temperature reaches 165°F. Remove and rest.
- 4Make the sticky soy-garlic sauce by combining all sauce ingredients in a jar or bowl. Shake or whisk well.
- 5Prepare cucumbers by adding sliced cucumbers to a container with all cucumber ingredients. Seal and gently shake to bruise and coat. Set aside.
- 6Make peanut sauce by whisking peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, sesame oil, garlic, and honey. Add warm water a little at a time until pourable.
- 7Slice rested chicken into thick strips. Return chicken to the griddle on low heat.
- 8Add optional onions and peppers to the griddle. Pour most of the sticky soy-garlic sauce over the chicken and toss just until coated and glossy. Remove from heat.
- 9Assemble lettuce wraps with chicken, cucumbers, peanut sauce, and desired toppings.
Hussey's Egg-Griddle Tips
- ▸Chicken thighs are forgiving and stay juicy even if slightly overcooked.
- ▸Ground chicken works, but sliced thighs bring more flavor and texture .
- ▸Peanut sauce is great on rice bowls, noodles, or grilled veggies .
- ▸Add fish sauce to the soy-garlic sauce if you want extra funk.
