Hey Jeff thanks so much for the kind words. I actually did a Bob Ross tribute video. I loved his show. Here's a link to it thanks for watching. ruclips.net/video/rZEuJX1aUoc/видео.html
Johnny I love how relaxed and humble you are. Your videos make me feel like i'm having a beer hanging out with you while you teach me how to griddle in a non-pretentious way and I love every minute of it.
Thanks so much Travis. I'm glad you think that because it is exactly what I'm going for. I just want to be laid back and help people griddle. It also reminded me that I need to go live again soon and just drink some beers and hang with people while I griddle. Thanks so much I really appreciate you watching.
For the very first time, ever, I cooked chicken fried rice following your video and recipe. My family loved it. I couldn't believe I cooked it correctly the first time I tried. Thank you for this video and for making it easy to follow. Keep making videos and I'll be a great chef on the griddle. Take care.
Wow this is amazing and makes my day. I'm so glad your family loves it and I'm so glad that you were able to make it for them bc of my video. Thanks for sharing and thanks so much for watching.
I love how you ended with a heart shape and said "into the hearts of the people" and then showed the heart. I'm trying this ASAP! My husband just thought he bought himself a BlackStone...it's Mama's now!!
Hahaha that's too funny, he's just going to have to learn to share with you! I'm glad you liked the video and the heart at the end. Thanks so much for watching Cindy and congratulations on the new griddle.
Hello. I just wanted to say that I followed the steps of your video and my fried rice turned out really good. My wife loved it too. Thank you for the walkthrough.
I wanted to say thank you for sharing. I recently received a blackstone griddle for fathers day and this recipe was the 1st thing I cooked on if and it was delicious! My family loved it. So I'm back and watched it again to make sure I don't forget any steps, that's how fix it was. Your time was appreciated and valued thanks again!
Hey you are very very welcome thank you so much for watching. I'm so glad it turned out well and that your family liked it. It makes my day to know that other people are using my videos to make food for there family that's the best part about doing RUclips for me. Thank you so much for coming back and telling me that. I hope it turns out just as good next time and maybe you could even add some steak or shrimp!
What a great recipe and video! I recently got a Blackstone (finally!) and made this last week. I brought some to my daughter, who is undergoing cancer treatment and is in isolation, and she absolutely loved it. She asked me to make more, so I'm back for another view. Thanks again!
Thanks I'm so glad this turned out well for you. And I'm glad your daughter liked it, I hope the treatment is going well my friend. Also congrats on the new griddle.
Hey Johnny, I'm going to get a griddle very soon so I've been researching on RUclips griddles and recipes. By far I like your laid back and genuine how too video's much better than most. Keep up the good work and I'll keep watching and learning from you. Go Bucks!!
Hey Mark thanks so much I appreciate the compliments. I'm excited your getting a griddle I'm biased but I love mine. Thanks for watching brother, Go Bucks.
Got our Blackstone the other day and just put it together. We've got to do your recipes. I've watched several and I think breakfast will be first. Love how you take the time to explain everything. Us newbies need all the help we can get. Thank you. Good job!!
Johnny I found your video Monday night, and made the fried rice Tuesday. My fiancé absolutely loved it and the sesame oil was a game changer. Appreciate you for putting out this griddle content.
Ah man that's awesome thanks so much for sharing that with me. I'm so glad you guys liked the chicken fried rice. I appreciate you for watching my griddle content. Thanks and have a good one.
Awesome man I'm so glad it was helpful. And I'm glad your family liked it. That's the best part of griddling is cooking for the family. Have a good one my friend.
Great video. I really like your delivery. You have a good voice for explaining, not too excited or not too drab by, and clear. Good technique and well done on not drawing out what doesn’t need to be drawn out, to the point is best.
Thanks TS I'm glad you liked it. And thanks for the feedback about length that's all something I always think about, what's t he e is appropriate length. I certainly dont want to drag it out but I also want to clearly explain it. I appreciate you watching.
Great job! The food looks amazing! The best cooking video I’ve seen in an awhile. Very well narrated. Very informative and great camera work ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I watched your video a couple of nights ago so I tried your recipe I need to tell you something it was so good my tongue slap my brains out great job thank you very much
Stumbled on your video the other day and, being new to the griddle world, had to make this tonight. This turned out so darn yummy!! We used tenders as we tend to like the white over dark. Thank you for sharing this!!
Hey Jerry that's awesome thanks so much for sharing! I love it when people make the stuff in my videos and the let me know they liked it, that really makes my day. Congrats on the new griddle and thanks so much for checking out my video.
I know you did this video awhile ago but I just got a griddle thank you so much for this cook for fried rice it was awesome. My wife and I thank you.. I will always follow a fellow beer drinker. Thanks brother!!!!!!!
You're very welcome Brian! Im so glad you liked it, and more importantly that your wife liked it. My tip for next time is to take your time and go a little slower. Tell her instead of 2 beer cook it's a 3 beer cook 😁. She'll just be happy you're making dinner and the kitchen isn't a mess lol. At least that's how it goes with my wife.
Just got a griddle this week and gotta say these have been the best to watch so far. Smash burgers tonight, big breakfast tomorrow and I think I gotta make this fried rice now for next week! Thank you for the tips!
Congrats on the new griddle Matt! Thanks so much I'm glad you like my videos and hopefully they have been helpful. Sounds like you are starting off with all the best meals, good choices! I appreciate you watching buddy, cheers.
Good on ya for the day old rice, you need the rice to dry out a bit. I scramble and make the eggs last as they can get tough if heated for too long. I prefer a yellow fried rice so I mix annatto powder with some canola oil and melted butter to fry with for the color. Perfect for making java or spanish rice. Fry fresh minced garlic in the oil first and then soften diced onion. I usually do teriyaki chix thighs on the side with fried rice but have to agree thighs are the perfect meat for this. Great video!
Yesterday I was trying to decide what to make for a light dinner. This video popped into my head so I tried it with some left over smoked chicken, rice, onions, bell peppers and eggs (salt, pepper, soy and teriyaki), because that is what I had. I lost nearly all sense of taste and smell (and nearly my life) to Covid back in the beginning but my wife said it was fantastic! Having a ball with the griddle. I really enjoy your videos. Thank you!
Hey Peter that sounds like a great "clean out the fridge" fried rice, I do the same thing with leftovers! Wow that's scary that you had covid that bad, glad you are hopefully ok now. And thank you so much for watching the videos I really appreciate it.
@@JohnnyBrunet Doing ok. Still have lung and kidney issues plus loss of taste and smell that looks permanent but I still here and kicking at 70 so I'll take it. Thank you and I look forward to all your videos.
Just made this tonight and I eyeballed the sauces and should have measured. Did your later tip on eggs last and in the middle of the rice. Worked so well! Absolutely loved it and based on your other videos, I had a rough idea how and when to start the meat through to the eggs. Awesome recipe and thank you!
Good stuff. I plan on trying to cook this on my blackstone this weekend for the first time. I am glad you said that the seasame oil is a must. I kept saying that to my gf at the store and she was like you don’t need that. I said yes I do! So we are going back out to the store tomorrow to get it. Wish me luck! LOL
Awesome I'm so glad you're trying it this weekend. Ya you can adjust it however you want but I'm the type of person who left the sesame oil out like the first three times thinking it wasn't a big deal. Then when I put it in there was just a different flavor overall. Thanks for watching and happy 4th of July.
I cooked this basic recipe this morning. It was a huge hit. I did it for breakfast no chicken and heavy on the eggs. A huge hit. We have some leftovers which every is looking forward to. Thanks for the vid.
No chicken and heavy in the eggs that's a great idea. I never thought to do this for breakfast, thanks for sharing that with me. I appreciate you watching and I'm glad your meal turned out well.
Heck ya!!! That's awesome thanks for coming back and updating me on it. It gets better each time you make it because you'll just adapt it to your liking. Also you can't go wrong with the lunch leftovers.
Haven't done a fried rice on the griddle yet, but I have done quite a few in a wok. The only thing I do differently is I wait and add the frozen veg at the end so it just has time to thaw and warm thru. Keeps them firmer and helps keep the peas from losing their deep green color and getting mushy like canned peas. Great video! Edit: I also put a couple drops of liquid smoke in with the soy sauce, helps give it the "wok hei" flavor you get with take-out fried rice.
Yesterday was my first big breakfast cook and today was my first fried rice cook. Holy sh-ssssmokes, yeah, that's the word, was that amazing. The wife loved it, so it's in the rotation now all based on your guidance. Thank you, sensei Johnny! Man, I am gonna be so fat by the end of this summer.
Awesome!!!! I'm so glad that everything went well for you. And more importantly that your wife was happy lol, that's the real power of the griddle. If the wife is happy and she doesn't have to cook then it's all good. And yes, it's hard to keep the weight off once you start using this thing regularly.
Kudos Johnny. This recipe and set of instructions are awesome! Just made CFR for the first time and it was a huge hit. Had to make it again (and doubled the recipe) to freeze and send home with my college kid. Everyone raved about it. Thanks so much for all you do.
That's awesome Ty!!!! Thank you so much for sharing that with me it really makes my day to know that people feed there family using my videos as a guide. A double batch is absolutely the way to go! It's not realythat much more work but like you said you can always freeze it. You have a wonderful weekend.
That's too funny that you say that Matt. I did stand up comedy for 6 years. In 2017 I won a contest at the Funny bone here in Columbus Ohio. Part of my prize for winning was I got to pick a weekend and do a 5 minute opening routine all weekend long for a touring act. I picked Nate because he just had his 30 minute netflix special so he was comming up but not too big yet where he probably would have said no. He still could have said no but he didn't, he allowed me to do which was very generous of him and it was the highlight of my entire time doing comedy. He was working on the Tennesse kid special which eventually blew him up on Netflix and I got to see him work out all those jokes over 6 shows in 4 nights. I liked him so much and was new at the time t so probably accidently copied some of his cadence. I still love his stuff. Thanks so much for watching.
@@JohnnyBrunetthat's fantastic! I think he's one of the funniest guys out there right now. I think he opened for Bill Burr a couple tours ago, I'd have loved to have seen that show. Thanks for the reply and for your videos. My Blackstone shows up this week and I'm far more confident moving forward having watched your videos. You just cant beat learning while laughing! Cheers!
Love your videos! I especially appreciate your guidance on which burners to have on and what degree to use. I'm just not sure how to access the recipe you mention! Great work!
Hello Elaine, thank you so much I'm glad you like my videos. The recipe is in the description of the video and it should be linked in the first comment on the video. Just click the blue underlined link and it should pop up. Let me know if it doesn't work.
Thank you for this video. I recently got my first griddle. This was my first dish. Other than the fact that I used a tiny bit too much toasted, sesame oil, it was superb!
Hahahahaha well I can't say for sure if you "need" one, but of you watch a few videos you'll definitely end up wanting one😂. That's what happened to me about a year ago this time and that's when I bought it. Also I'll say that if you're in Texas then you can use it year round which is better than I can say for Ohio. I still go out and griddle in the winter but it's a little cold 😁. Thanks so much for watching and I hope you get one soon. You won't regret it.
01/28/24 Hello Johnny, Commented earlier today about the fantastic results watching your video. In addition your tip cooking Jasmine rice day before then spreading the rice on parchment worked like a charm. Thank you.
Enjoyed learning your process, great thing about fried rice is you can use whatever you have in the fridge. I had left over carnitas, it made for a fantastic Asian-Mex fusion. Came out excellent!
Thanks so much Wendy I'm so glad that you enjoy the videos and find them helpful. That's great that your fried rice turned out. I love when people tell me they used the recipe from my video, it really makes my day. Thanks for watching.
The idea for the rice is to be dried some. If you make it fresh, put a fan on it and turn it often to kind of dry it out. If you make it the night before, put it in the fridge uncover so it dries some. Turn it over a couple of times. I also like to mince my green onion to get more flavor from them. That also helps when some of your guest do not care for onion. The flavor enhances without being a piece of onion in the mix. I also add a little soy sauce. We do shrimp and fried rice often. Easy and quick. Do not forget that sesame seed oil. :)
Was wanting to try cooking my own fried rice for a while now, and your video was very straightforward and easy to follow! Made a bit of egg fried rice a few days ago, and just made a ton more today with chicken and steamed brocolli; managed to make it correctly both times without burning or undercooking it, all thanks to this guide! :]
Awesome! I'm so glad the video was helpful and I appreciate you watching. Steamed broccoli sounds good I'm going to have to do that as well next time I make fried rice.
Thanks for the compliment Melanie and you are very welcome. I'm so happy that you're going to do it for dinner tomorrow! I always wonder if people watch to just see the food or if they actually make it. So when I see comments like this it really makes my day. Happy 4th and keep on griddln'
@@JohnnyBrunet we are actually making this recipe tomorrow night for our church supper.. I am head of our cook team and this recipe will be on display as we are cooking it...
@@johncammer2300 that's awesome! Thank you so much for sharing. I hope everyone enjoys it. It's definitely an easy one to double or triple and feed a. Lot of people.
I'm from the Philippines and I like how you added the toasted sesame oil into the fried rice which I've never seen before. I will give it a try. Thank you for sharing your video, sir. 🙂👍
Hi David, I'm so glad to hear that yours turned out good. And I'm happy I helped you that makes my day. Thanks so much for watching my videos and commenting. If you ever have a question don't hesitate to ask.
Finally made a shrimp fried rice on the griddle! It was very bland but the texture is what I could never get right, it was always mushy. Now it’s all about getting the flavor right. Thanks
all ive been eating lately is fried rice, trying to perfect my own. Its veggies, proteins, fats, grains. Its the ultimate easy meal to make and I love it!
I totally agree it is the perfect complete meal, and I love tweaking mine as well. Still haven't perfected it but I'm al.ostbthere. Thanks for watching.
01/28/24 Hello Johnny, Thank you for your chicken fried rice recipe. Fantastic results on our new griddle. Yes, we used the toasted sesame oil as the final touch.
Hey Kenny no problem glad I reminded you. Ya I thought the butter was good. Definitely had a different flavor then when I use just oil. Thanks so much for watching and commenting.
You ought to consider letting us know what temp you are setting your griddle to when cooking. I remember from another video you mentioned that you use a thermometer
Hi Jose. Yes I usually try to show that on each video I'm sorry I did not for this one. I try to keep in around 400 for fried rice which is all 4 burners just above low on my Camp Chef. Hopefully that helps and thanks so much for watching.
Have you tried doing this at higher temperatures? Wok cooking is traditionally done over very high heat and it does impart a different flavor to the food. You just need to be sure to keep the food moving to prevent burning. I actually have an outdoor wok station with a high BTU burner for this purpose. Another advantage to this is that your food is ready very quickly. Just a suggestion. I did enjoy the video.
I have not tried yet but I have heard that before and want to give it a go. I know Japanese steak houses also cook at a higher temp I just keep it lower because I'm not as experienced as them and feel like it gives me more room for error. I think I am going to try next time to crank the middle two burners a little higher and leave the outside ones low just in case it looks like I'm burning something. Also I definitely want to learn how to use a wok some day. They look like fun. Thanks for watching and for the suggestion.
Johnny great video… do you ever beat your eggs to a mixture before you put them on then griddle… why use whole eggs and then cook and blend together. Thanks
Hi Rae, thanks I'm glad you like the video. Yes I do best them. What I do now is whip them together then make a well in the middle of the rice and pour them in there. The rice keeps them from going all over the place. Thanks so much for watching.
Great video! I wanted to know your step by step for the jasmine rice. If you washed it, how you cooked it (especially rice to water ratio), etc. I have tried it several ways and can’t seem to keep it from getting gummy not matter what I do. Thanks in advance!
Hi Mr. Eric, thanks for watching and I'm glad you liked it. For rice I am in the same boat as you I still have trouble with it being gummy. Sometimes it's perfect then the next time not. I will say that mine got better when I started following the instructions on the bag exactly rather than following what I'd heard and read. The Jasmine rice I get is from Aldi and they recommend 3 cups water for 2 cups rice. Also I do wash it now and that's helped too. I have a little rice washer bowl and I keep rinsing until the water is clear. I hope that's helpful.
Jasmin and other white rices are usually 1:1 rice to water. Put the rice in a medium bowl and add a splash of water. With your whole hand like a claw circle around the bowl thirty times. Add water over the rice and then slowly drain. Agitate the rice again after drained and then add the water to rinse out the starch. Do this at least three times.
Hey thanks for watching. Yes I've done them as a garnish and cooked the green onion as well. I'm not sure which one is better but I do know I just love green onions haha. Thanks so much for watching and commenting.
Idk if you watch Alex (french guy cooking) but he just did a series on fried rice, and he recommends steaming your rice. Seems like a really good idea, I'm going to try it next time I do fried rice.
I have not seen him but I'll check him out. I love watching other cooking channels. And that's interesting with steaming I will definitely give that a try. Thanks Andrew.
I lightly tong flip them if I have a small amount to get quick results. Half a griddle this size with a large amount would be a different scenario. The Ooni cast iron pans with removable handles are amazing and cheaper than huge cast iron pans also.

I cooked this basic recipe this morning. It was a huge hit. I did it for breakfast no chicken and heavy on the eggs. A huge hit. We have some leftovers which every is looking forward to. Thanks for the vid.
No chicken and heavy in the eggs that's a great idea. I never thought to do this for breakfast, thanks for sharing that with me. I appreciate you watching and I'm glad your meal turned out well.
Second round. Did some modifications with some additions. So good. I made enough for lunches and snacks. A bigger hit than I expected.
Thank you. 😊
Heck ya!!! That's awesome thanks for coming back and updating me on it. It gets better each time you make it because you'll just adapt it to your liking. Also you can't go wrong with the lunch leftovers.
Haven't done a fried rice on the griddle yet, but I have done quite a few in a wok. The only thing I do differently is I wait and add the frozen veg at the end so it just has time to thaw and warm thru. Keeps them firmer and helps keep the peas from losing their deep green color and getting mushy like canned peas. Great video!
Edit: I also put a couple drops of liquid smoke in with the soy sauce, helps give it the "wok hei" flavor you get with take-out fried rice.
Yesterday was my first big breakfast cook and today was my first fried rice cook. Holy sh-ssssmokes, yeah, that's the word, was that amazing. The wife loved it, so it's in the rotation now all based on your guidance. Thank you, sensei Johnny! Man, I am gonna be so fat by the end of this summer.
Awesome!!!! I'm so glad that everything went well for you. And more importantly that your wife was happy lol, that's the real power of the griddle. If the wife is happy and she doesn't have to cook then it's all good. And yes, it's hard to keep the weight off once you start using this thing regularly.
Nice job. A hint for you. You can use the rice right after cooling it if you rinse it in cold water first with a strainer. Cheers.
Thanks I'll give that a try next time, it will be a lot easier.
You don’t need to rinse the the rice under water. Simply let rice cool down to about room temp. Perfect fried rice every time.
Kudos Johnny. This recipe and set of instructions are awesome! Just made CFR for the first time and it was a huge hit. Had to make it again (and doubled the recipe) to freeze and send home with my college kid. Everyone raved about it. Thanks so much for all you do.
That's awesome Ty!!!! Thank you so much for sharing that with me it really makes my day to know that people feed there family using my videos as a guide. A double batch is absolutely the way to go! It's not realythat much more work but like you said you can always freeze it. You have a wonderful weekend.
I made this about a month ago and came out great! Just about to fire up the dico and make some more. Thanks for a great video.
Nice Frank, great minds think alike I guess. I appreciate you checking out the video and commenting. Keep on griddln' brother.
Great video Johnny! Just got a Blackstone 22 and will try this over the weekend....
Thanks Kurt, and congratulations on the new griddle.
What An amazing video. I can listen to your voice all day
Thanks!
You have a great delivery. Reminds me of Nate Bargatze! Great videos!
That's too funny that you say that Matt. I did stand up comedy for 6 years. In 2017 I won a contest at the Funny bone here in Columbus Ohio. Part of my prize for winning was I got to pick a weekend and do a 5 minute opening routine all weekend long for a touring act. I picked Nate because he just had his 30 minute netflix special so he was comming up but not too big yet where he probably would have said no. He still could have said no but he didn't, he allowed me to do which was very generous of him and it was the highlight of my entire time doing comedy. He was working on the Tennesse kid special which eventually blew him up on Netflix and I got to see him work out all those jokes over 6 shows in 4 nights. I liked him so much and was new at the time t so probably accidently copied some of his cadence. I still love his stuff. Thanks so much for watching.
@@JohnnyBrunetthat's fantastic! I think he's one of the funniest guys out there right now. I think he opened for Bill Burr a couple tours ago, I'd have loved to have seen that show. Thanks for the reply and for your videos. My Blackstone shows up this week and I'm far more confident moving forward having watched your videos. You just cant beat learning while laughing! Cheers!
@@Gusserbean oh man him and Bill together would be a hell of a show. Thanks for watching and congratulations on the new griddle!
Love your videos! I especially appreciate your guidance on which burners to have on and what degree to use. I'm just not sure how to access the recipe you mention! Great work!
Hello Elaine, thank you so much I'm glad you like my videos. The recipe is in the description of the video and it should be linked in the first comment on the video. Just click the blue underlined link and it should pop up. Let me know if it doesn't work.
Johnny that looks delicious and you're right the three secrets are butter more butter and extra butter looks like a great meal
Thanks so much Ross.
Looks delicious! Thank you for posting. This will be our first time for chicken fried rice on the griddle. Grill on ...
Thanks Rodney and good luck on your first chicken fried rice. I'm sure it will turn out great. I appreciate you watching man.
Good video! Simple and to the point! I just got my Nexgrill flat grill! I can't wait to try this recipe!
Thanks K C and congratulations on the new Flat Top. I'm sure you'll love it.
I winged it ,got pre made fried rice and did the same ,added own spices .family loved it .
Oh I've done that before as well the pre made rice isn't terrible and it's super easy. Glad your family loved it and thanks for watching Gary.
Your recipe is one of my favorites to use always turns out great thank you for sharing.
So glad to hear that Ron!
Thanks for everything boss !. I appreciate all you do !
No problem 👍
I am used to cook on a wok and yeah cooking on griddle is fun I want to try :D
You should def try it. It's a blast.
Thank you for this video.
I recently got my first griddle. This was my first dish.
Other than the fact that I used a tiny bit too much toasted, sesame oil, it was superb!
Awesome man congrats on the griddle and hopefully you do some videos on it.
New follower here. Researching if I want/need a griddle and you convinced me. YES! Great video.
Hahahahaha well I can't say for sure if you "need" one, but of you watch a few videos you'll definitely end up wanting one😂. That's what happened to me about a year ago this time and that's when I bought it. Also I'll say that if you're in Texas then you can use it year round which is better than I can say for Ohio. I still go out and griddle in the winter but it's a little cold 😁. Thanks so much for watching and I hope you get one soon. You won't regret it.
Great vid. Definitely gonna have to make this for the misses. And that has to be the best fried rice heart I have ever seen lol.
Hahaha I tried my best with the heart 😂. Thanks so much for watching Larry.
You are doing such a good job I like the way you explain and I bet you taste really good you are professional!
Thanks so much Maria!

Hello Johnny, Commented earlier today about the fantastic results watching your video. In addition your tip cooking Jasmine rice day before then spreading the rice on parchment worked like a charm.
Thank you.
Awesome Bill that's great. Thanks so much for commenting. And ya the day before with the rice is definitely the way to go.
You’re so informative and straight to the point. The recipe looks so tasty too. You have a new subscriber from this girl 💋
Thanks I loved your video a lot!
Thanks Purple Prince, I appreciate you watching.
Enjoyed learning your process, great thing about fried rice is you can use whatever you have in the fridge. I had left over carnitas, it made for a fantastic Asian-Mex fusion. Came out excellent!
I totally agree Dennis. Carnitas fried Rice sounds awesome! I'm going to have to give that a try. Thanks for watching.
I have to tell you..... I really enjoyed your video❗
Very helpful, friendly, great recipe. ( mine turned out FABULOUS)
THANK YOU❗
Thanks so much Wendy I'm so glad that you enjoy the videos and find them helpful. That's great that your fried rice turned out. I love when people tell me they used the recipe from my video, it really makes my day. Thanks for watching.
Looks great Johnny! I’m going to try it tomorrow with ground chicken. BTW I think I saw ole Steve peeking through the fence. He looked hungry.
Thanks Sean! I'm sure it will turn out great with ground chicken. Ya he's always looking over the fence 😂😂😂
The idea for the rice is to be dried some. If you make it fresh, put a fan on it and turn it often to kind of dry it out. If you make it the night before, put it in the fridge uncover so it dries some. Turn it over a couple of times. I also like to mince my green onion to get more flavor from them. That also helps when some of your guest do not care for onion. The flavor enhances without being a piece of onion in the mix. I also add a little soy sauce. We do shrimp and fried rice often. Easy and quick. Do not forget that sesame seed oil. :)
Thanks for all the tips those are very helpful, and thanks for watching.
Will make this for family this weekend . Thank you !
You're very welcome. I hope it turns out great!
Made this tonight but substituted Chinese BBQ pork in place of the chicken thighs. It's sure turned out amazing. Thanks for the tips.
That sounds like a great substitutions!
Good video!! I’m gonna try to do it today but I’m gonna add a little bit of garlic
Thanks I appreciate you watching.
Was wanting to try cooking my own fried rice for a while now, and your video was very straightforward and easy to follow! Made a bit of egg fried rice a few days ago, and just made a ton more today with chicken and steamed brocolli; managed to make it correctly both times without burning or undercooking it, all thanks to this guide! :]
Awesome! I'm so glad the video was helpful and I appreciate you watching. Steamed broccoli sounds good I'm going to have to do that as well next time I make fried rice.
Your a great teacher! Thank you for the lesson ! This is definitely tomorrow’s dinner
Thanks for the compliment Melanie and you are very welcome. I'm so happy that you're going to do it for dinner tomorrow! I always wonder if people watch to just see the food or if they actually make it. So when I see comments like this it really makes my day. Happy 4th and keep on griddln'
@@JohnnyBrunet we are actually making this recipe tomorrow night for our church supper.. I am head of our cook team and this recipe will be on display as we are cooking it...
@@johncammer2300 that's awesome! Thank you so much for sharing. I hope everyone enjoys it. It's definitely an easy one to double or triple and feed a. Lot of people.
I'm from the Philippines and I like how you added the toasted sesame oil into the fried rice which I've never seen before. I will give it a try. Thank you for sharing your video, sir. 🙂👍
You're welcome thanks so much for watching Russell. Ya I really enjoy the sesame oil, I would highly recommend it.
Thank you, mine turned out amazing! I am still learning and you have taught me so much!
Hi David, I'm so glad to hear that yours turned out good. And I'm happy I helped you that makes my day. Thanks so much for watching my videos and commenting. If you ever have a question don't hesitate to ask.
Finally made a shrimp fried rice on the griddle! It was very bland but the texture is what I could never get right, it was always mushy. Now it’s all about getting the flavor right.
Thanks
Good Job Now I'm off to do my own. Thanks!
Have fun! And thanks for watching.
Great Vid, I just hope mine comes out half as good as your looks !!
I'm sure yours will be great ! Thanks for watching.
all ive been eating lately is fried rice, trying to perfect my own. Its veggies, proteins, fats, grains. Its the ultimate easy meal to make and I love it!
I totally agree it is the perfect complete meal, and I love tweaking mine as well. Still haven't perfected it but I'm al.ostbthere. Thanks for watching.
Just followed your recipe. Outstanding!
Glad you liked it!
I made this dish, and it was wonderful. THANKS
Awesome! I'm so glad it turned out well for you.

Hello Johnny, Thank you for your chicken fried rice recipe. Fantastic results on our new griddle. Yes, we used the toasted sesame oil as the final touch.
You're welcome Bill thanks for watching. I'm so glad that it turned out well for you.
Tried this last night, it was good. Thanks for posting.
Awesome Dane! Thanks for telling me and I'm glad it turned out great!
Trying this out tonight! Gonna throw some Thai Sweet Chili in to switch things up.
Sounds amazing Sam. I love Thai Sweet Chili. What brand do you get? I buy Sweet Baby Ray's.
I had been missing my sesame seed oil. Thanks for the reminded and I'll try just using butter and no oil on the rice next time.
Hey Kenny no problem glad I reminded you. Ya I thought the butter was good. Definitely had a different flavor then when I use just oil. Thanks so much for watching and commenting.
You ought to consider letting us know what temp you are setting your griddle to when cooking. I remember from another video you mentioned that you use a thermometer
Hi Jose. Yes I usually try to show that on each video I'm sorry I did not for this one. I try to keep in around 400 for fried rice which is all 4 burners just above low on my Camp Chef. Hopefully that helps and thanks so much for watching.
Thanks. Good presentation for beginners
You my friend did a fantastic job with the Chicken and Rice and Video 😎👍🏻
Thank you James I appreciate it.
love the vid. u ever use a big pot lid to put over the chicken keep the heat on it?
I have and it helps cook it a little faster. I've also used the steak weight before.
Have you tried doing this at higher temperatures? Wok cooking is traditionally done over very high heat and it does impart a different flavor to the food. You just need to be sure to keep the food moving to prevent burning. I actually have an outdoor wok station with a high BTU burner for this purpose. Another advantage to this is that your food is ready very quickly. Just a suggestion. I did enjoy the video.
I have not tried yet but I have heard that before and want to give it a go. I know Japanese steak houses also cook at a higher temp I just keep it lower because I'm not as experienced as them and feel like it gives me more room for error.
I think I am going to try next time to crank the middle two burners a little higher and leave the outside ones low just in case it looks like I'm burning something.
Also I definitely want to learn how to use a wok some day. They look like fun. Thanks for watching and for the suggestion.
Great video sir i enjoyed it..I will be making this on a sunday
Glad you liked it Joe, thanks for watching.
You made this look so easy. Delicious!
Thanks Isidoro! I appreciate you watching. The griddle is doing all the hard work I just throw stuff on there haha.
Johnny great video… do you ever beat your eggs to a mixture before you put them on then griddle… why use whole eggs and then cook and blend together. Thanks
Hi Rae, thanks I'm glad you like the video. Yes I do best them. What I do now is whip them together then make a well in the middle of the rice and pour them in there. The rice keeps them from going all over the place. Thanks so much for watching.
@@JohnnyBrunet man!
Thkx so much for a reply… didn’t expect you’d actually answer.
Great video! I wanted to know your step by step for the jasmine rice. If you washed it, how you cooked it (especially rice to water ratio), etc. I have tried it several ways and can’t seem to keep it from getting gummy not matter what I do. Thanks in advance!
Hi Mr. Eric, thanks for watching and I'm glad you liked it. For rice I am in the same boat as you I still have trouble with it being gummy. Sometimes it's perfect then the next time not. I will say that mine got better when I started following the instructions on the bag exactly rather than following what I'd heard and read. The Jasmine rice I get is from Aldi and they recommend 3 cups water for 2 cups rice. Also I do wash it now and that's helped too. I have a little rice washer bowl and I keep rinsing until the water is clear. I hope that's helpful.
Jasmin and other white rices are usually 1:1 rice to water. Put the rice in a medium bowl and add a splash of water. With your whole hand like a claw circle around the bowl thirty times. Add water over the rice and then slowly drain. Agitate the rice again after drained and then add the water to rinse out the starch. Do this at least three times.
@@CroakerOutdoors thanks for the help !
Nice video. I always add green onions at the very end. Personal preference I guess. I also add white onion to the other veggies.
Hey thanks for watching. Yes I've done them as a garnish and cooked the green onion as well. I'm not sure which one is better but I do know I just love green onions haha. Thanks so much for watching and commenting.
Thanks for the heads up keep up the great work God bless you 🙏
You are very welcome.
Idk if you watch Alex (french guy cooking) but he just did a series on fried rice, and he recommends steaming your rice. Seems like a really good idea, I'm going to try it next time I do fried rice.
I have not seen him but I'll check him out. I love watching other cooking channels. And that's interesting with steaming I will definitely give that a try. Thanks Andrew.
Very well made and narrated. Thanks
You're very welcome and Zim glad you liked it. Thank you so much for watching.
الرز المقلى بالدجاج اكيد الطعم بيكون جميل❤
Lol u don't give yourself nearly enuf credit! You did great! It looks yummy and I totally want some now lol
Thanks Brandy I really appreciate it.
Thank you. Gonna try this weekend!
You're welcome Lenny, thanks for watching.
@@JohnnyBrunet your chicken fried rice recipe came out amazing! We will make it over and over again!
@@lennyupstateny1850 awesome!!!!
Great video! Thank you! What temp setting did you have the black stone on?
You're welcome! I try to keep it around 400 for fried rice. Thanks for watching.
I lightly tong flip them if I have a small amount to get quick results. Half a griddle this size with a large amount would be a different scenario. The Ooni cast iron pans with removable handles are amazing and cheaper than huge cast iron pans also.
Thanks Travis.
Heart warming!
Does plain white rice work ok? I have a sh!tload of that in the pantry
Ya that works fine Trevor. I just like Jasmine but you can basically use any rice. Thanks for watching.
