Savory Grilled Buffalo Chicken Thighs with Tangy Blue Cheese Slaw

Ingredients

• 3 celery stalks sliced into thin matchstick pieces
• 2 big carrots, finely grated
• 1/3 cup of tangy buttermilk
• 1/3 cup of crumbled blue cheese
• 2 teaspoons of bold red wine vinegar
• 1 teaspoon of rich Worcestershire sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon of aromatic celery seed
• 1/2 teaspoon of sea salt
• 3 pounds of tender boneless skinless chicken thighs
• 1 cup of zesty buffalo wing sauce, split evenly

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, blend together a medley of fresh celery, crunchy carrots, tangy buttermilk, pungent blue cheese, zesty vinegar, savory Worcestershire sauce, aromatic celery seed, and a pinch of salt. Allow the flavors to meld together as you move on to the next steps.

Step 2

Take some succulent chicken thighs and generously coat them with 3/4 cup of your favorite wing sauce, ensuring each piece is fully covered.

Step 3

Prepare your outdoor grill by preheating it to a comforting medium-high heat and greasing the grate lightly to prevent sticking.

Step 4

Grill the marinated chicken thighs on the preheated grill for around 6 minutes on one side, then carefully flip them over and grill for an additional 6 minutes. To add an extra layer of flavor, brush the thighs with the remaining 1/4 cup of wing sauce and continue grilling until the chicken is cooked through, showing no pink near the bone and releasing clear juices. Aim for an internal temperature of 165 degrees F (74 degrees C) when checking with a reliable thermometer near the bone.

Step 5

Once perfectly grilled, transfer the chicken to a waiting plate and present it alongside a delightful blue cheese slaw for a meal that will surely impress.
