Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- kosher salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup buffalo wing sauce (Frank’s Red Hot Wing Sauce is preferred)
- 6 to 8 ears of corn
- 4 scallions, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup chopped chives
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 2 limes, freshly juiced
- 4 to 6 slices sharp cheddar cheese (adjust depending on number of thighs)
Instructions
- Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Place it in a bowl or resealable bag, and cover it with 2/3 cup of buffalo sauce. Marinate for at least 30 minutes (or overnight).
- Preheat your grill to high heat. Grill the corn for 2-3 minutes on each side, rotating until char marks appear. Remove the corn and let it cool before cutting the kernels off the cob.
- Place the chicken on the grill and cook for 6 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Before removing from the grill, top each thigh with a slice of cheddar cheese and close the lid to melt it for about a minute.
- Cut the grilled corn off the cob and mix with scallions, chives, cilantro, and lime juice. Season with salt and pepper.
- Serve the grilled chicken topped with melted cheese and drizzle with additional buffalo sauce. Serve with the fresh corn salad on the side.
Notes
For extra heat, add more buffalo sauce to the chicken or salad.
If using chicken breasts, adjust grilling time to ensure they don’t dry out, as they cook faster than thighs.
