Easy Blackstone Chicken Fried Rice

My three take aways.
1. When making fried rice on a griddle make a lot. Leftovers are great for lunches or meals later in the week.
2. I prefer chicken thighs because I think they don't dry out as much in this recipe but feel free to use breasts or tenders.
3. Don't skip the sesame oil, I really feel like this is what gives it the take out taste.
