Best Chicken Tacos on the Griddle

- These are the best chicken tacos on the griddle, and probably the best chicken tacos I’ve ever had to be honest! If you’re looking for an easy taco recipe for the Blackstone griddle, Camp Chef flat top grill, Pit Boss, or any other griddle, then try these delicious tequila lime chicken tacos!
Start by marinating your chicken for about one hour in tequila, lime juice, and a few other ingredients. Watch the video for the tequila lime marinade recipe. You don’t want to leave your chicken in the marinade for too long because the acid will start to cook the chicken. Also, I used boneless skinless chicken thighs and butterflied chicken breasts.
While your chicken is marinating, you can make a pineapple pico de gallo by combining diced pineapple, tomato, onion, cilantro, lime juice, salt, pepper, and some minced garlic.
Also, go ahead and make your two ingredient chipotle sour cream. Just combine one pepper and about a tablespoon of the sauce from a can of chipotles in adobo with about 1/4 cup sour cream. Mix well and mash the pepper up a bit in the sour cream.
Once your chicken is done marinating, season it with your favorite southwest seasoning or taco seasoning. Then, lay it down on your heated griddle to start cooking on the first side. Don’t touch it or move it around until you’re ready to flip… that way you get a nice crust.
Once your tequila lime chicken is done, let it rest about 10 minutes before cutting it for your best ever chicken tacos on the flat top grill. Enjoy!

I now have a new term to use when cooking or making drinks... lime carcass! This one made me laugh out loud. Amazing job on the chicken tacos. Happy Mother's Day to your wife and thanks for sharing that amazing recipe FTK family.
HAHHAAHa yeah it got me to...tongue tied. Much appreciated and thanks Ryan.
HMD to your family as well.
Hello, I'll be back in a couple weeks.
I'm a lifelong resident of Texas, almost 60 , and hands down these were the best chicken fajitas ( tacos ) I have ever had. I have traveled almost all over this state and have had chicken fajitas ( tacos ) all over. We did add some griddled onions / red bell peppers with HEB chicken fajita seasoning . Also I tossed the chipotle adobo and sauce in the marinade , and let it soak in the marinade , then added the chipotle chopped to the sour cream spread . Also, fresh flour tortillas ( again from HEB ) I swear this is not an HEB pitch , but they make tortillas daily so super fresh . Mr. Flat Top King is legit !!!! He and wife should have a cooking show together, the chemistry is TOO good ! And this is a growing cooking niche.
Wow......thanks Andrew...I appreciate the comment and support
I have cooked this chicken six times already. After watching your video, I bought some Tequila and got the chicken marinated. Got my griddle hot and now, I keep it made in the fridge. I honestly can’t keep enough of it made. Got my seventh batch in the fridge now. Thanks so much for a great great cook or recipe.
Wonderful! Thats one of the greatest complaints I can receive..Thanks Annette
@@TheFlatTopKing I have to give you all the credit for the absolute best chicken Our family has ever had. Our family of three is absolutely nuts with your cooking and family. I can tell the world You sure know how to cook a great Tequila Lime Chicken. And the rest of you food is right up there with it.
First off, happy mother's day to Amy! 2. Great shirt! 3. I'm the same way with recipes... Always just cook by feel. 4. That marinade is ON POINT! 5. These look spectacular sir!
Love it!! Thanks Matt...I will tell her. Honestly that chicken was on point...no doubt
Dude, this was off the hook! I LMAO twice. First when you added the tequila to the marinade and second when you ate half the first taco and presumably gave your wife a bite of the rest of it and when you pulled your hand back it was empty. I take a can of Chipotle Peppers in Adobo and run them through the food processor. I put the puree in a refrigerated food storage container and when i need some for salsa or anything else it's very handy. It hasn't gone bad for me and keeps for a long time. You put out a ton of content and should seriously consider putting a Patreon link in your description.
Man thats a great comment to see...Much Appreciated brother...Yeah i will check it out.
I’ve made this twice, the first time I overcooked the chicken and there wasn’t much flavor. The second attempt was spot on. Like Neil said, packed with flavor and also addicting. Looking forward to doing this one again
Hey thank you....really....
FTK, Mrs FTK,
Stumbled across you channel looking at new flattops. I have a very old 4 burner blackstone that I use several times a week. Really enjoy your thoughtful recipes and product reviews.
Peace Luke T
Welcome aboard and much appreciated...
I like this guy and how he cooks. He is teaching techniques and sharing knowledge, not simply demonstrating recipes. You can take what he’s doing and develop your own recipe. Job well done sir!
Thanks Harrill...I appreciate that
Hey man you done it again. Looks great , your camera person ( wife ) love it. Thanks for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it
"tu-kee-la-eee" it's a technical term 😀 That looks great, but maybe you audience has something with wanting the recipes: "The Flat Top King Cookbook Volume 1". I can honestly say you have one of the better flat top shows, in my humble opinion.
I totally agree with you!
Thanks Alan really appreciate that...
Thanks Brian
I made this and it was fantastic. I live in WY so outdoor is rare. I bought the steelmadeusa flat top for my Viking range. Its absolutely a blast to cook on and I don't have to fight the WY wind.
Fantastic! What part...we used it live in WY...betcha didn't think I would say that.ahahahha 4 years...southeast..Just south of Lusk....Jay em
So look - I made carnitas the other night and used an orange in them. I was making these today - yeah, Christmas, it was what the family wanted - and I had enough chicken to double the recipe for the marinade. I substituted a small orange for one of the limes. It gave the chicken a little sweetness to go with all the other flavors. They absolutely LOVED it. Give it a try.
Thanks bud...sounds good to me
I made this recipe and holy... Did not disappoint! Thanks
Glad you liked it!!
Those are some awesome looking tacos and Happy mother's day
Thanks Ernest...Happy Mothers Day to your family as well....
I love the way the “recipe “ started out. I don’t measure much myself.
Oh how clever to freeze the extra adobos! Thanks for this great idea!
Any time!
Killer looking chicken tacos. Will add to my playlist. Thanks for the video and GRIDDLEE ON DUDE.
Thanks Bruno..
Looks amazing, I do chicken fajitas on the flat top which are amazing, this will be a great variation. I’m not a fan of the smokiness of adobo sauce so will substitute an avocado crema which I think will compliment all of the ingredients. Great job!
Sounds great!
Can’t wait to make these. Thanks for sharing
Happy Mother’s Day to the little lady! These tequila lime chicken tacos look amazing. Totally awesome job Neil!! 😋👍🏼🔥👊🏻🍻
Thanks so much I will tell her. TY. Yeah they were really good..
3:12 lmao guy figures out what a tablespoon is 😂
Oh my I’m stoked. Hearing Amy’s reaction 😁❤️. Definitely making these! Thanks!
Hope you enjoy especially on your new griddle
@@TheFlatTopKing if it ever gets here! I’m not a patient person 🙄
@@stonerscravings you and me both. My nickname mr impatient… haha
@@TheFlatTopKing it’s here!!!!!
@@stonerscravings im dancing for you. Trust we ain’t filming that…. Hahahahah. Hurry up. Lets go
Those do look amazing.Even the chicken by itself. I'd even be tempted to throw it in a Caesar salad. Most excellent "recipe"!
Yeah absolutely...we will have a loaded salad tomorrow for dinner and its going in..so many options...
I’m sold. Trying that this week. 🤤🤤🤤
We had the leftover chicken for a big Mexican salad and it was still incredible
Those look delicious. Definitely, cooking them this week. Love chicken with some flavor.
So good!...Plus who doesn’t need a reason to buy Tequila...
Tequila in fajitas is a next level move as well. Been a "secret" in my pork chile verde for years along with a "pinch" of cinnamon.
Interesting on the cinnamon. Might have to steal that one.
You guys are truly the bomb! Every recipe I’ve made off your channel has been superb! This one will be next and I’ll be making extras for sure!! Thanks guys!
Hey thanks thats awesome....thanks Gayle
All I would need is a fork. If that. That chicken looks so delicious. Once again you reign supreme 👑.
Thanks Robert...
Gees that looked so incredibly delicious. I'm kicking my own ass for not watching this sooner. I could definitely had scored some big points on this Mother's day lunch with my wife today! Once again you have wowed me! This is my next cook! Thumbs up brother 👍!
Happy Mother's day to you all!
Thanks Brian and much appreciated...
Love your channel! Ive made a few of your recipes on my Loco! This just popped up and will be on my list!!! One comment had chipotle in adobo as a sauce, that is a great idea!!!! Keep at em! Now, just to figure out how to un-recipe this.......😮
That is awesome!
They looked amazing
TY DON
Another find, really like this one, of course the recipe is a good roadmap, hope it is on your web site too, HAA. Got a lot of the fixins today so getting ready for a try this weekend.
NO that one different make it...I am having Amy look at it right now
@@TheFlatTopKing , and that is why you two are the ones to go to for anything griddle. Blessings to you both.
Wow, that was an amazing chicken taco! Loved the “recipe.” Great marinade too. I’d of eaten half the chicken before getting the tacos done. Insanely delicious looking Neal! Cheers brother!
Glad you enjoyed it
Wow! Looks AMAZING, thanks for all the vids and tips you give.
Glad you like them! No worries...I love doing it
Making this tonight!
Love the recipe. Thanks. How does that Pit Boss Ceramic top hold up? I notice you are using metal spatula's.
Great here is a response I have saved because all the info involved about the metal utensils.
This is definitely a hot button topic... And my answer would be that you have to use metal utensils AT YOUR OWN RISK. The actual Pit Boss Ultimate griddle manual says "non-metallic utensils". I know of a handful of Ultimate griddle owners that have been using metal utensils on their griddles for a while and they've said that there hasn't been any damage... but like I said, you have to use at your own risk - I'm sure that Pit Boss probably won't replace your griddle top for you if you damage it with metal utensils. Also, there's a difference in the types of metal spatulas... my preferred spatula has rounded ends and does NOT have the sharp beveled edges all around. That's the spatula that I like for my other griddles as well. I would never use a square ended, beveled edge spatula on mine. Also, you'll notice that I still use a wooden scraper/spatula to actually scrape down the griddle surface (NOT a metal bench scraper like I use on my other griddles). There’s also the difference in being a more seasoned/experienced griddle user… I feel confident using metal on mine because I’ve been using griddles for over a decade (both commercial and residential flat tops) - so I know not to dig into the surface, how to use the utensils to not cause damage, etc… Hope that helps!
@@TheFlatTopKing awesome response. I actually sell the Pit Boss griddle and Pit Boss actually has a utensil kit they sell separate that is plastic coated metal. I appreciate the response.
Making this right now. Wife is at grocery store getting the rest of the ingredients. Yum 😋
Awesome…. Be patient and let that crust build. Also make sure your griddle is preheated correctly and hot
This will have to happen soon. Thanks for another great idea!
You bet! I ment to say that the added onion was with yours and forgot.. Will do it when i do a steak comparison.
Do you recommend marinating overnight? Also you mentioned that you use your new favorite spice, but you also mention using your (meaning mine) favorite taco seasoning. I made this and it was fantastic bro!
I would not marinate over night I think the lime and tequila would cook the chicken and it would be horrible...
@@TheFlatTopKing thanks much! I thought that was what you were saying in the video.
I don't really like tequila. But damn, this looks like a must make recipe! I'll check back in after :)
Happy Mother’s Day Amy
I will tell her....thanks Christeen
Gonna have to try this one. My husband would cry with happiness 😂
Well since then I have made homemade flour tortillas and would be perfect for these
I do the same thing with chipotles in adobo.
One of my favorite things to do is burgers with that mixed in then some queso in the middle.
It makes a spicy burger but really good.
Sounds great! Thats a great idea
What brand is your shirt……? I can’t wait to make these tacos?
Wouldn't it be handy if you guys just got one of those typical Mexican lime squeezers? They're very practical and I promise it's not cheating, everyone does it over here. Just cut it in half, squeeze, be done with it. Also sometimes it's hard to get the juice out if you don't have strongman grip strength.
Also, I recommend buying small plastic containers (tupperware style) for the chipotle in adobo. More convenient than a zip-loc. Whenever we open the can, the leftovers go straight in a container.
Good video Neil,, happy mother's day Amy,,,,, make Neil take you out for a great dinner ! Mabye take you out in a rented limo ! LOL. THANK YOU FRANK FROM MONTANA....
HHAHAHAHAHA Could you imagine one deep in cattle county...hahhaha. Just made her her favorite...Grilled steak with vegetables
Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
That is so simple and looks great! I’m wondering if zesting some of those limes in the marinade would kick it up a notch. I like that you’re putting the recipes up but why don’t you put them on your webpage and add to the collection? Oh, while you’re over there put up a new u photo, LOL
HAHAHAHAHAHA we are working on that and rebranding if needed. My website has been neglected but we are getting it back up again...Whats wrong with the photo hahahahaha
@@TheFlatTopKing lol, looks like you lost about 80 lbs!
@@johnmccaffery5186 close. 60
@@TheFlatTopKing Daaaaaamn! My record is 53. But it’s amazing that you keep it off the way you eat! Ha ha ha ha. Me, 10 years later I put it all back on and then some. Age definitely is not in your favor as they say....
Oh I'm going to have to use tequila in my next chicken marinate
Not only did it give it great flavor but really tenderized it as well...
Try agave syrup for sugar. And dedicated ice cube tray for adobo peppers freeze then pop in freezer bag
Great idea! Thanks for the tips
The best ever? Did you add MSG?
Heck no but i will txt you about the pizza...
Man if I could grill as good as you I’d be the FATtop King!
HAHHAHAAHHAH LOL thats funny...might make a shirt for that one
@@TheFlatTopKing 🤣🤣🤣
I wish i was one of your neighbors so I could wonder over when I smell the griddle. You should have other taste testers over... lol 😆
Great idea Hey i have lived here almost 5 years and have talked to my neighbor 3 times...hahhaha its nice but i think the same thing...you know they can smell it
I did some chicken tacos the other night, nothing this fancy though, may have to do them this way sometime
Yeah they were really packed with flavor...
Have you done a bourbon chicken before? If not, that would be great.
What size tacos did you use? Street taco? 4 inch?
We used low carb and they were a little larger than street tacos...some brands have different sizes...
Well I guess I know what's for dinner tonight 😋
Its all about the tequila hahahaha
@@TheFlatTopKing Caught me 🤣
Oh , and tell Mrs.King Happy Mothers Day
@@codyrussow170 thanks Cody I will.
I'm not a recipe person myself either. More of a shake and taste as i work through the meal.
Absolutely....
Takes “measurements” ,,, best tacos I have ever made🤣🤣🤣
Those have to be top shelf, for sure. I might stand there and just eat chicken. Nah, go for the whole thing.
HAHAHAHAHA I like the pun.....top shelf tacos....
That extra virgin comment hits a little different lmao
ahhahaahha
Haha yeeeaaaahhhh #recipessuck lol yeah I don't measure or follow a recipe lol if I look at a recipe its just 2 get an idea lol which I will say my wife's Italian so I e sorta almost followed a couple recipes lol that's strange land 4 me I mean I do lasagna and spaghetti etc.. but I made this super simple spaghetti noodles fried in a wok wit garlic and broccoli I saw on TH-cam and man she loves it as well as my daughter which they love everything I cook (except the hot stuff) and I just wing everything lol I can make the same thing 50 times and it'll come out a lil different every single time lol
Buddy brothers from another mother....ahahhah absolutely same thing...
Recipes? Unless youre cooking a cake or pie, who needs RECIPES???
can you say that louder....I am 100 percent on board with that...Heck I get asked how much oil do I use just to cook some vegetables...
@@TheFlatTopKing I do something different nearly every time I make something..Im terrible about it with m Brunswick stew, lol..heck I even got on a kick where I was putting a capful of Jim Beam in my spaghetti sauce for a touch of sweetness...who knows what I might do next!!!
