Ingredients
FOR THE BUFFALO SAUCE
- 1 stick butter 1/2 cup or 8 tablespoons
- ½ cup Louisiana Style Hot Sauce Franks is very popular though I use Valentina HOT
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar or white vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Tabasco sauce
- 1 teaspoon paprika I use Hungarian paprika – smoked is great too
- ½ teaspoon granulated garlic or more to taste
- salt and pepper to taste
- OPTIONAL: Pinch of ghost pepper flakes for XTRA HOT! Or try Cayenne Flakes for nice hot.
FOR THE CHICKEN
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 medium boneless, skinless chicken breasts (8 ounces each, or use chicken thighs)
- 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon cayenne powder
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
FOR THE BUFFALO SAUCE
- Melt the butter in a small pot over low heat. Add the remaining ingredients and whisk them together until nice and smooth.
- Set aside until ready to use.
FOR THE CHICKEN
- Season the chicken generously with your seasoning blend. I'm using paprika, cayenne, garlic powder, salt and pepper.
For the Grill
- Heat your grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates. Grill the chicken 5 minutes per side to get a nice sear.
- Baste on a few spoonfuls of the Buffalo sauce and continue to grill until you reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees F when measured with a meat thermometer. I like to baste a few times while cooking.
For the Stove Top
- Heat the oil in a large pan to medium heat. Sear the seasoned chicken 5 minutes per side, then reduce heat to low. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of Buffalo sauce.
- Cover and cook another 5 minutes, or until you reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees F when measured with a meat thermometer.
Final Steps
- Remove from heat and let rest a couple minutes.
- Smother with the remaining Buffalo sauce and serve with blue cheese dip and blue cheese crumbles.
Notes
- Heat Factor: Mild-Medium, but you'll get plenty of zing from the Buffalo sauce. For more pronounced heat, try adding spicier chili powder or flakes to the sauce.
