Description
Tender, juicy chicken thighs bathed in a sweet-and-spicy honey buffalo sauce, perfect for summer barbecues or casual dinners.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs Chicken Thighs (boneless, skinless)
- 1/4 cup Buffalo Sauce
- 2 tbsp Honey
- 2 Garlic Cloves (minced)
- 1/4 tsp Black Pepper
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- 1/2 tsp Parsley (dried)
- 2 tbsp Chopped Green Onions (optional garnish)
Instructions
- Prep the Marinade: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the buffalo sauce, honey, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Taste and adjust as needed.
- Marinate the Chicken Thighs: Add the chicken thighs to the marinade and toss to coat. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill on high for about 10-15 minutes.
- Oil the Grill Grates: Use a paper towel soaked in oil to rub down the grill grates.
- Grill the Chicken: Place the marinated chicken thighs on the grill. Grill for about 5-7 minutes on one side.
- Baste and Flip: Once the first side is golden, flip them over and baste with additional marinade. Grill for another 5-7 minutes.
- Check for Doneness: Ensure chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
- Remove and Rest: Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for about 5 minutes.
- Garnish and Serve: Drizzle leftover marinade on top, sprinkle with dried parsley, and add chopped green onions.
Notes
For a milder sauce, swap buffalo sauce with sweet chili sauce. Can be served with corn on the cob, coleslaw, or grilled veggies.
