Servings: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 3/4 cup Buffalo sauce divided (use about 1/2 cup for brushing while grilling and reserve remaining for finishing)
  • crumbled blue cheese for topping
  • chopped green onion for topping
  • ranch or blue cheese dressing for serving

Instructions

  • Preheat a grill or indoor grill pan to medium-high (about 375–450°F).
  • In a small bowl, combine the onion powder, garlic powder, kosher salt, and ground black pepper.
  • Rub the chicken breasts with the olive oil, then evenly coat them with the spice mixture.
  • Generously brush the chicken on all sides with about 1/2 cup of the Buffalo sauce.
  • Place the chicken breasts on the preheated grill and cook for 6–8 minutes.
  • Flip the chicken and continue grilling another 6–8 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and the chicken is cooked through.
  • After removing from the grill, brush the chicken with the remaining Buffalo sauce.
  • Let the chicken rest at least 5 minutes, then slice and serve topped with crumbled blue cheese, chopped green onion, and ranch or blue cheese dressing.

Equipment
