Blackstone Hot Honey Mustard Chicken Bites are an easy, flavorful griddle recipe that works great for camping, meal prep, or a quick weeknight dinner. Tender chicken thigh pieces seared on a flat top and tossed in a creamy hot-honey mustard sauce make this a versatile dish—serve them on a bed of rice, pile them into a wrap, or top a hearty salad.
These chicken bites are built for convenience: cut the thighs into bite-size pieces ahead of time, pack the sauce separately, and finish everything on your griddle in under 15 minutes.
How to make Blackstone Hot Honey Mustard Chicken Bites
Preheat your Blackstone or any flat top griddle to medium heat. Lightly coat the cooking surface with your oil of choice—vegetable oil, avocado oil, or another high-smoke-point option work well. Use boneless, skinless chicken thighs for the best flavor and juiciness; cut them into even bite-size pieces so they cook quickly and consistently.
Season the chicken simply with kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper, then add an all-purpose seasoning blend. I like a combination of a classic all-purpose and a honey-jalapeño blend to layer a little sweetness and heat. Spread the chicken in a single layer on the griddle and cook for about 6 minutes, stirring occasionally so the pieces brown evenly.
While the chicken cooks, mix the hot honey mustard sauce in a small bowl. Stir together 3–4 tablespoons each of hot honey, your preferred mustard (yellow, Dijon, or a spicy brown work well), and either mayonnaise or plain Greek yogurt for creaminess. Season with a pinch of kosher salt and black pepper and taste—adjust the heat or sweetness to your preference.
After about 6 minutes on the griddle, add half the sauce to the chicken and continue cooking for another 2–3 minutes, stirring to coat the pieces and let the sauce warm and thicken slightly. The remaining sauce makes a perfect dip or dressing.
Serve Blackstone Hot Honey Mustard Chicken Bites with the extra sauce for dipping
These chicken bites are delicious served straight from the griddle with the remaining sauce on the side. They also work wonderfully as a salad topping, in wraps, or as part of a meal-prep bowl with roasted or grilled vegetables and rice. Garnish with chopped green onions, sesame seeds, or a squeeze of fresh lemon for brightness.
Ingredients
- cooking oil of choice
- 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-size pieces
- kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- all-purpose seasoning blend (and optional honey-jalapeño seasoning)
- 3–4 tablespoons hot honey
- 3–4 tablespoons mustard (yellow, Dijon, or spicy)
- 3–4 tablespoons mayonnaise or plain Greek yogurt
Equipment
- Blackstone griddle or flat top griddle
- spatulas for mixing
- small bowl for sauce
Instructions
- Preheat the griddle to medium heat and coat with a thin layer of cooking oil.
- Add the cut chicken thighs, season with kosher salt, black pepper, and your seasoning blend, and spread in a single layer. Cook for about 6 minutes, stirring a few times so the pieces brown evenly.
- While the chicken cooks, whisk together hot honey, mustard, and mayo (or Greek yogurt) in a small bowl. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper and adjust to taste.
- Pour half the sauce over the chicken and cook an additional 2–3 minutes, mixing well so the sauce warms and coats the chicken.
- Remove from the griddle and serve with the remaining sauce for dipping, or use the chicken in salads, wraps, or meal-prep bowls.
Serving tips, storage, and variations
For a lighter option, swap mayonnaise for plain Greek yogurt. Add crisp vegetables like shredded cabbage, sliced cucumber, or cherry tomatoes when serving in a wrap or salad. To stretch the recipe, serve the chicken over rice or noodles with steamed vegetables.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on a griddle or in a skillet to maintain texture—avoid microwaving for extended periods to prevent dryness. The sauce keeps separately for up to 4 days refrigerated.
This recipe is ideal for meal prep: portion chicken, grains, and vegetables into containers and add the reserved sauce when ready to eat. Adjust the amount of hot honey or spicy mustard to control heat level and sweetness to suit your taste.
