Benihana Chicken Fried Rice Recipe

This original Benihana Chicken Fried Rice classic is loaded with chicken, rice, eggs, vegetables and yummy garlic infused butter.

Happy Wednesday, Guys!!! How was your Valentine’s Day and your Superbowl parties? For the Superbowl this year, hubby requested a home cooked Benihana dinner. Originally, I was like really dude?!?!? There are just so many components to making that meal a success but he wholeheartedly believe I could do it (as always) and he thoroughly enjoyed it. In fact, the entire family loved it!

My personal favorite is their delicious Benihana Chicken Fried Rice recipe. There is just something about it that makes me want more and more!!! I really wonder if there is MSG (monosodium glutamate) in there that keeps hooking me. Lol!!!

Well this Benihana Chicken Fried Rice recipe is so close to their original that you’ll never really notice the difference even in a blindfold taste test. They key is making the sticky rice a day ahead so that it dries out a bit. Oh man!!! It’s sooooo good!!! I hope you’ll give this Benihana Chicken Fried Rice recipe a try. You won’t be disappointed! Say Grace and enjoy!!
