Description
Our Grilled Buffalo Chicken recipe is full of flavor, so easy make, and perfect for adding to salads and wraps!
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/2 cup buffalo sauce (store-bought or homemade buffalo sauce)
Instructions
- Prep & Marinate: Place chicken breasts on a plate. Pat dry and sprinkle both sides with salt and pepper. Move chicken to a bowl and pour buffalo sauce over top; mix to fully coat the chicken. Let sit 15-30 minutes.
- Prep Grill: Heat grill to medium heat (approximately 400-450 degrees F). Ensure grill grates are clean and rub with olive oil or your favorite non-stick cooking spray.
- Grill Chicken: Place chicken on direct heat (over direct flame) and cook at medium heat for 4-5 minutes per side. Move chicken away from the direct heat (direct flame) so that it is cooking on indirect heat (maintaining the same grill temp) and cook for an additional 5-10 minutes (you don’t need to flip during this point because the chicken will cook as if it is in an oven) or until the internal temperature of the thickest part of the chicken reads 160 degrees F on your meat thermometer.
- Rest: Remove from grill and let rest at least 5 minutes (the chicken will continue to cook during this time and the internal temp will continue to rise up 5 additional degrees). Chicken is safe to eat when it reaches an internal temp of 165 degrees (at thickest part of the breast).
- Serve: Enjoy any way you want! We love cutting it up and using it in our Ultimate Buffalo Chicken Salad or serving them with a Grilled Baked Potato!
Notes
- Buffalo Sauce: we love the Primal Kitchen Buffalo Sauce or our homemade buffalo sauce! But feel free to use whatever works best for you.
- Serving: we love using this chicken in our Buffalo Chicken Wraps!
- Storage: store leftover cooked chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
