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

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together buffalo sauce, honey, and minced garlic.
  2. Season chicken thighs evenly with salt, pepper, and parsley. Add 2 tablespoons of the sauce and toss until each piece is fully coated.
  3. Preheat your grill to medium‑low. Clean and oil the grates to prevent sticking.
  4. 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.
  5. 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).
  6. 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.
