Grilled Buffalo Chicken Recipe
Our Grilled Buffalo Chicken recipe is full of flavor, so easy make, and perfect for adding to salads and wraps!
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ½ cup buffalo sauce store-bought or homemade buffalo sauce
Instructions
- Prep & Marinate: Place 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts on a plate. Pat dry and sprinkle both sides with ½ teaspoon kosher salt and ½ teaspoon ground black pepper. Move chicken to a bowl and pour ½ cup 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℉). 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℉ 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℉ (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!
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.
