I love how you are always learning and sharing with us. One thing I would like you to try is to add 1 tsp of baking soda to the chicken, along with the cornstarch. Let sit for about 30 minutes. (NOT overnight!) No, you won't taste the baking soda but boy, does it enhance the tenderness of the chicken. (works with beef and pork too.) Now I want fried rice! Great video!

[@TheFlatTopKing]

Absolutely....i did a ton of research...seemed like the soda thing worked....it seemed like by not doing it but adding moisture like I did worked as well....I thought about doing a comparison...but I will let others do that...

[@Den69RS96]

I've made this twice in the last two weeks and it came out awesome. I eliminated the oyster sauce since my wife doesn't care for it. I also added water chestnuts. So good with great flavor.

[@TheFlatTopKing]

Fantastic! Thats what cooking is all about...the ability to sub ingredients based on your preference..cheers

[@bt92lude]

Followed this video tonight for my first time ever making fried rice... It was a hit! Turned out awesome. With a couple tweaks and some more practice I'll get it dialed in a little more even, but for my first time I was amazed at how good it was! Thanks for the video!

[@TheFlatTopKing]

Awesome, glad you liked it!

[@4seasonsbbq]

Fantastic video, guys. This looks absolutely delicious. I always use thighs and don't have to worry about dried up flavorless chicken. Have a great week, my friends.

[@kennagy3860]

I've been watching your videos for a few weeks now, and may I say you and your wife are providing an excellent amount of help for a first timer as myself. Made smashburgers last Friday, came out OK but then again on Sunday and I dared a double - turned out awesome. Today I attempted this chicken fried rice - again, it was so great my wife and I killed the entire huge bowl. I feel I was able to get it right so quickly due to your videos that detail what NOT to do! Thank you!

[@TheFlatTopKing]

Hey we really appreciate that...truly...that what makes us do what I love to do....just help...

[@jimfisher2711]

Looks delicious! Thanks for all the little extra tips and tricks that you always share when you make your videos. Those little extra nuggets of wisdom are wonderful and always very much appreciated!

[@TheFlatTopKing]

You are so welcome! Thanks for commenting

[@Willie-mo8kl]

We used chicken thighs, no worries of drying out, but we also prefer thighs over breast meat anyway. Your dish looked great! We only made fried rice once so far, it turned out great but always room for improvement. Got a Blackstone for Christmas and learning new dishes. Love your recipes and videos!

[@TheFlatTopKing]

Hey thats awesome....they get addictive for sure...cheers

[@chrisdavidson6603]

Followed each and every step...Amazing! Will definitely be keeping this recipe as a staple in our griddle box of recipes! Awesome flavors and the chicken very tender. Great tips too!!! Thank you Flat Top King!!!

[@bradmesserle999]

Thank you for post the link in the description.. made this tonight (Sunday) for our luxury meal of the week. The wife approved and had 2 servings. :) my first time so I do have to improve on a few things.. but.. I will definitely practice some more. Peace… ❤

[@JediTim28]

Great tips...i always overcook my chicken. I really need to practice it more.

[@D70340]

As always, you guy's hit it out of the park. Pure home run right here!!!

[@TheFlatTopKing]

TY....this one was well worth it...for sure..

[@firstdown1565]

Good idea with the chicken bouillon! Looks great, sir!

I always salt brine my chicken breasts, but that chicken fried rice is amazing.I could eat that crunchy garlic chili oil right out of the jar it’s so good. Thank you

[@pedrofuerza1651]

Tried that out in Germany yesterday! Amazing recipe and always love to watch your videos. Learning so much how to use the griddle on a daily basis. Keep on going!

[@TheFlatTopKing]

Hey thanks for watching

[@crmcelhatton]

This recipe turns out amazing! This is my 3rd time making it. The 1st time I made a single recipe for my family and we loved it. The 2nd time we had some friends over. I made 2 batches, a single recipe and then a double. This weekend we had more family and friends over. I made 6x the recipe in 3 double batches. Everyone loved it and I actually have some leftovers this time. This is about my 10th time using the flat top and I am a little slow on my first batch, but gain my confidence and speed up after that. ***FYI to other beginners, make sure your grill temp is around 400°F so you don't burn the food and I used chicken thighs so I have more time to cook as I am a little slow. Everyone is giving me credit for having such a great recipe, I'm directing them to @TheFlatTopKing. Thank you so much for this and your other recipes.

[@barryboudreaux106]

Thanks for all you and your wife do for us. Love watching yall. Can't wait until I get my porch built so I can get my Griddle on.

[@TheFlatTopKing]

Absolutely....thanks and cheers

[@MrAirtaz]

Great advice on holding back on the chicken during the cook.

[@TheFlatTopKing]

[@ChrisBQue]

Great job Neal. My wife watched this with me and she wants me to make it. I am going to make this with chicken and on another day with port tenderloin. mmmmmm. 😋

[@TheFlatTopKing]

That is awesome!

[@jakespencer8077]

Family favorite! Wouldn’t change a thing. Perfect recipe and technique.

[@TheFlatTopKing]

Thanks bud..

Great Video. I am going to try this for the first time tonight.

[@TheFlatTopKing]

Hope you enjoy

[@stevegerber2076]

Maybe try the broth soon, around 50F this weekend and I just picked up 20 lbs. of Basmati rice at Sam's. Always looking to tweak things to get better. Hot tip from the last video was not messing with the rice until it warms up.

[@BBQDad463]

Thankyou for this video. It appears that you have made some serious advancements in this dish. We have loved the CFR 1.0. I look forward to trying CFR 2.0.

[@TheFlatTopKing]

Please let me know what ya think...cheers

[@c-cothr9750]

Damn it, man! I so love watching all of you and Amy's videos. You always up my game, and I appreciate what you post as it's purely genuine. I just moved but will be making this very soon.

[@TheFlatTopKing]

Heck yeah...appreciate ya

[@bobbicatton]

Super flavorful, and looks fantastic! Love the broth in the rice cooker tip👍😊

[@TheFlatTopKing]

II think it really helped with flavor...i liked for sure..so much better than plain...and way better than local

[@The_Original_Big_Daddy]

Congrats on being back to short sleeve weather! Really nice approach here. I make fried rice quite often and I never thought to add some oyster sauce and finish with sesame oil. Usually we go with Tofu as our protein, but dang it I'm going to try chicken next time. By the way your velveting technique seems to be on par with most of the Asian chefs I've watched. Thanks for sharing!

[@TheFlatTopKing]

Hey i appreciate that...really learned a lot last few years...cheers

[@macoper8er]

Looks Amazing! Thanks again!

[@TheFlatTopKing]

No problem!

[@billymitchell214]

Looks really good, I must try this way.

[@TheFlatTopKing]

Please do! This has taken some time to get better...hopefully you can see the results

[@marcoesquandolez4737]

This looks delicious. I’m going to try it! Thanks for sharing

[@brunoloiselle2710]

A good fried rice is just a good fried rice. I experience the same issue here in Houston TX my fried rice is better than what i can get from a restaurant. Thanks for the video and GRIDDLE ON DUDE.

[@TheFlatTopKing]

Thanks for sharing Bruno...cheers and griddle on

[@markmelton8676]

So velveting the chicken helps not to dry it out? I must be missing the point of velveting? Would this be a good method for hibachi style chicken that wouldn't be mixed with rice? Thank you for sharing all your knowledge i really enjoy your channel. Your wife really seems supportive, it's great you get the family evolved!!

Awesome cook as usual! Quick question. What brand is the teardrop flatwear you're using at the end of the vid? Love y'alls vids and instruction. Keep it up brother!!!

[@TheFlatTopKing]

hhaahh Honestly its the 3rd time we have had to buy new forks...they keep disappearing....so I just went on Amazon and bought 16 only forks...

[@bagadonutz36]

So good!!! Thank you. Have been watching your channel for a minute now. The fried rice came out perfect. Good tip on waiting till the end to cook chicken. Only suggestion is add some ginger to the garlic butter pool in the rice. Thanks again for crushing it !!!🫡

[@ManCaveMeals]

Master class... well done! If you were gonna introduce MSG to this recipe, where would you do it? Would you shake it on the rice or would you dissolve it in the soy sauce? What would be the best practice for that?

[@TheFlatTopKing]

Great question....maybe in the chicken mix and just sprinkled like salt and pepper

[@ManCaveMeals]

@@TheFlatTopKing I think that would be perfect in the rice cooker.. why didn't I think of that? I guess that's why I am here :).

[@janarkas252]

looks 👌🏻

[@laurievanbruggen3705]

Fantastic actually looked perfect must have been tasty with that extra garlic and that chilly and garlic sauce . quick question why do all the people use so much rice ?

[@TheFlatTopKing]

I think it has to do from the original culture...leftover rice it traditional...so just adding some extra ingredients it extends the dish..

how do I go to recipe so I can print? thank you

A new question, what is the best way to cook whole oysters on flat top. Can you lay aluminum foil on the flat top? Thanks Bill

[@TheFlatTopKing]

I would not...what about those oyster pans....each one has a whole....add some butter and garlic in the wholes...

[@rickmartin712]

You forgot the ginger, shallots and MSG! But still looks very good!!! 😊

[@noelgrau9554]

Is all of the cooking done in real time or there pauses and edits ?

[@TheFlatTopKing]

Definitely editing for time....

[@josephshehan4969]

How about adding some white rice wine or vinegar at the end.?😊

[@TheFlatTopKing]

You absolutely can...

[@frankmarullo228]

I made chicken fried rice from your other fried ricr video for about 26 people at the Quigley buffalo shoot in forsyth montana a few years ago and it was Great Everyone loved it but only one person complained there wasnt enough chicken in it. Go figure ! All i told him was tough. ( Keeping it clean ) THANK YOU FRANK FROM MONTANA......

[@russelltarter3600]

I like a little bit of spice in my fried rice, so right at the end I'll add a small amount of Chinese mustard.

[@bairdpickett3312]

Can I order “shake that “ seasoning from your web site?

[@jeffkuipers1030]

would you use chicken thighs instead of breast?????

[@bakingnanaskitchen4799]

I would! I like thighs as they are very forgiving.

[@TheFlatTopKing]

Yes you can...it has more allowance for drying out...

[@Patrick94GSR]

Looks great and I’ll be using some of these tips this week. But uh… no MSG hiyyyaahhhhh 😂

ahhaahha I need to get some...I have it in my spice line..just dont have it personally...i need to quite being lazy

[@MonoKbron]

It looks good and may even be good, but I see a lot of incorrect steps (or added at the wrong time). The first mistake I see is saying fried rice and doing it grilled (and is not the worst mistake)

It’s not grilled because he’s not using a grill. It’s a griddle. Things get fried on a griddle.
