Chicken can be cooked on a griddle as long as you flip the chicken frequently so that both sides of the chicken get cooked.

Griddle the chicken for 10 to 15 minutes being sure to flip the chicken frequently for even cook and sear of the chicken.

Once the internal temperature of the griddled chicken reaches 165 F then it's fully cooked and ready to eat or serve.

The foods you're supposed to cook on a griddle pancakes, hamburgers, sausages, bacon, hash browns, French Toast, eggs, fajitas, grilled sandwiches, chicken and fish.

Grills are healthier than a griddle when it comes to cooking.

Grills are a bit healthier than griddles because the grills have grates through which excess oils and fats drip off the food as it cooks.

Unlike a griddle, food cooked on a grill directly contact the fire flames.

People like griddles because griddles provide consistent heat for cooking across a large, flat cooking surface which makes them best for cooking foods that you just would not be able to cook on a traditional BBQ grill.

Griddles are also very easy to use and come with a lot of efficiency and convenience, making them a top choice for easy outdoor cooking.

Griddles also offer grillers a flat and smooth cooking surface with varying temperature zones and excellent temperature control.

Griddles are excellent cooking surfaces, loved for their versatility, wide cooktop, ease of cleaning, and durability.

They give your meat a perfect sear and add flavor to your food.

Griddles and grills use different cooking techniques, resulting in different tastes and appearances of the food.

They also differ in how heat contacts the food cooking upon them.

When you fire up the grill and toss food onto the red-hot grids, the Maillard Reaction occurs.

The browning of whatever you're cooking smells divine, activating the saliva ducts in your mouth, which will facilitate the transference of the chemicals that activate your taste buds.

The cons of a griddle include.

Cleaning and Maintenance. Griddles require more cleaning and maintenance than grills.
Temperature Control. You might think that a griddle would have better temperature control than a grill, but that isn't the case.
Cooking Time.
Greasy Food.
Smoke and Fumes.
