Tips to ensure your chicken fajitas

Here are a few essential tips to ensure your chicken fajitas are restaurant-quality every time on yourBlackstone:

‍

Uniform Slices are Key:

For even cooking, make sure your chicken andvegetables are sliced into similar-sized strips.This ensures everything cooks at roughly thesame rate, preventing some pieces fromovercooking while others are still raw

‍

Smart tips

‍

High Heat, Quick Sear:

Fajitas thrive on high heat. Get your griddle nice and hot before adding your chicken and veggies. Cook inbatches if necessary to maintain that high temperature and achieve a beautiful sear, rather than juststeaming the ingredients.

‍

Layer Your Flavors:

Cook your chicken first to get a good sear, thenset it aside. Cook your peppers and onions untiltender-crisp. Just before serving, combineeverything back on the griddle with yourseasonings and a splash of lime juice for a finalflavor infusion.
