Description
Grilled Honey Buffalo Chicken Thighs are sweet, spicy, and full of smoky charred flavor. A quick, crowd-pleasing dish for any summer BBQ or weeknight dinner.
Ingredients
Scale
2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs
¼ cup buffalo sauce
2 tbsp honey
2 garlic cloves, minced
¼ tsp black pepper
¼ tsp salt
½ tsp dried parsley
2 tbsp chopped green onions (optional garnish)
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together buffalo sauce, honey, and minced garlic.
- Season chicken thighs evenly with salt, pepper, and parsley. Add 2 tablespoons of the sauce and toss until each piece is fully coated.
- Preheat your grill to medium‑low. Clean and oil the grates to prevent sticking.
- Place the chicken thighs smooth‑side down on the grill. Grill low and slow, turning every 3–4 minutes to prevent burning and ensure even cooking.
- During the final few flips, baste the thighs with the remaining honey buffalo sauce to build a sticky glaze. Grill until the internal temperature reaches between 165–170 °F (74–77 °C).
- Remove from heat, let rest briefly, then garnish with chopped green onions and serve with your favorite sides.
Notes
Use chicken breasts as a leaner option.
Try baking or air frying if you don’t have a grill.
Let chicken rest before slicing to keep it juicy.
