How to make Grilled Buffalo Chicken Thighs

First put 4 to 6 boneless, skinless chicken thighs into a gallon size plastic bag for mess free marinating.

Then add 1/4 cup of your favorite buffalo wing sauce.

Also some pickle juice, which I admit seems a little strange.

But trust me, it brings that little somethin’ somethin’ to the recipe 😉

Next add some minced garlic, paprika, cayenne pepper, kosher salt, and pepper.

Massage the bag until the chicken is evenly coated in the marinade.

And keep it in the fridge for a few hours or overnight.

When you’re ready for dinner, preheat the grill to medium/ medium high heat for a few minutes.

And grill the chicken thighs for 10 to 12 minutes total, flipping a few times.

Love those gorgeous char marks on Grilled Buffalo Chicken Thighs 🙂

And might I suggest grilling some corn on the cob as a simple side dish to go with dinner?!

Such a classic combo!

These really don’t need anything else, but dipping in more ranch and/or buffalo sauce wouldn’t be a bad thing.
