Teriyaki Blackstone Chicken Tenders

Hear me out.

I was going to make buffalo chicken tenders in the air fryer, but I had some leftover paleo honey teriyaki sauce. I had already made these delicious Teriyaki Chicken Thighs on the Blackstone Griddle, so I decided to use the rest of the teriyaki sauce on the chicken tenders.

I’m so glad I did!

It was the perfect way to use up leftover teriyaki sauce. You can also use the teriyaki sauce to make these delicious Grilled Teriyaki Beef Sticks.

You can even use these grilled paleo chicken tenders for meal prep! Pair them with your favorite low carb side dish!

If you’re looking for even more Blackstone recipes to try, check out this post I wrote on the 40+ best Blackstone recipes, the best blackstone side dishes, and the best Blackstone Chicken Recipes.

Why you’ll love these paleo teriyaki chicken tenders

  • Paleo recipe – instead of store bought teriyaki this recipe uses a homemade paleo teriyaki sauce
  • Low carb and high protein recipe – these chicken tenders have 33g of protein and only 3 grams of carbohydrates.
  • Simple recipe – no fancy ingredients. You can get all the simple ingredients you need at your local grocery store

Ingredients

  • paleo teriyaki sauce
  • skinless boneless chicken tenders

Tips & Tricks

To make this delicious dish, first you need to make sure that the griddle is hot before adding the chicken tenders. You can splash a few drops of water on the Blackstone first to make sure it’s hot enough.

These chicken tenders cook quick on the griddle since they’re so small. Don’t go too far or you’ll risk burning your chicken tenders.

Remove the chicken tenders from the Blackstone Griddle once the internal temperature reaches 165F.

Tools to make this easy recipe

  • I have the 22 inch portable tabletop flat griddle grill station. It’s perfect for the RV travel life! I also have friends that have the Blackstone Adventure Ready 2-Burner 28″ Outdoor Griddle

How to make Blackstone Chicken Tenders

  1. Season the chicken tenders. Coat the chicken tender with the avocado oil, salt and pepper.
  2. Cooking the chicken tenders. Preheat Blackstone to medium high heat. Once hot, add chicken tenders. Cook for 5-6 minutes on each side until the chicken tenders reach an internal temperature of 165F.
  3. Apply the teriyaki sauce. Turn the Blackstone griddle off, but don’t remove the tenders. Coat the chicken tenders with sauce and cover for 1 minute. This allows the sauce to thicken.
  4. Remove chicken from griddle. Carefully remove the chicken tenders from the flat top grill. Wait 5 minutes before cutting or eating.

Stovetop Directions

If you don’t have a flat top grill or griddle you can still make these delicious teriyaki chicken tenders. Coat the tenders with oil, salt and pepper.

Then heat a cast iron skillet or frying pan over medium high heat. Add the chicken tenders to the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165F. Turn off the stove and the baste with the teriyaki sauce.

Cover for 1-2 and then transfer to a plate. Let set for 5 minutes before eating.

Teriyaki Sauce Substitution

If you don’t want to make my homemade paleo teriyaki sauce recipe, you can use a store bought brand. Most traditional teriyaki sauces are soy sauce based though and are not gluten-free, so just be aware if you’re trying to avoid gluten.

You can also substitute BBQ sauce instead of teriyaki sauce in this recipe. Try my Homemade Keto BBQ Sauce on these tender to keep them low in carbohydrates.

What to serve with Blackstone Griddle Chicken Tenders

I served these Blackstone Chicken Tenders with blackstone teriyaki vegetables and fried rice.

For the teriyaki vegetables, I cooked a steamer bag of Asian vegetables in the microwave and then transferred them to the Blackstone. I then topped it with some paleo honey teriyaki sauce.

For the Blackstone fried rice, I took leftover Instant Pot Basmati Rice and warmed it up on the Blackstone. I then topped it with the teriyaki sauce as well. Cooked until the sauce was starting to glaze on the flat top.

If you’re looking to keep this a low carb meal, serve these blackstone chicken tenders with Zucchini on the Blackstone Griddle, Blackstone Brussel Sprouts with Bacon or Asparagus on the Blackstone Griddle.
