Ingredients

1 ½ lbs. boneless skinless chicken breast 4 breasts
½ cup unsalted butter
1 cup Franks’ red hot sauce
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
2 cloves garlic pressed
1 teaspoon Worcestershire Sauce
½ teaspoon ground cayenne pepper more or less to taste
Kosher salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

The buffalo sauce (marinade) can be made up to 3 days in advance. Store in an airtight container in the fridge.
Always preheat the grill. It is really important for even cooking, decreasing the risk of the chicken sticking, removing residue from prior grilling, and making great grill marks.
Don't overcook the chicken. Chicken is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees.
Split the chicken marinade in half. Use half to marinate the chicken breasts for 2-4 hours covered in the refrigerator. Then use the second half to baste the chicken while it is grilling.
Store the leftover buffalo chicken in an airtight container or a zipper seal bag in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
