Ingredients
For the Buffalo Sauce
- ⅔ cup hot pepper sauce I used Frank’s Red Hot
- ½ cup apple cider vinegar
- ½ cup unsalted butter
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ¼ tsp garlic powder
- ¼ tsp Worcestershire sauce
For the Grilled Wings
- ⅓ cup cornstarch
- 1 Tbsp Cajun seasoning
- ½ tsp kosher salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 1- pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- chopped green onions for garnishing
- celery sticks, carrots, ranch dressing or blue cheese dressing for serving
Instructions
For the Buffalo Sauce
- Using a medium saucepan, add all ingredients and place over medium heat.
- Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally.
- Remove from heat. (Note: If necessary, keep saucepan over low heat so the sauce stays warm until needed.)
For the Grilled Wings
- Set up grill for indirect cooking and preheat to 375°F for indirect cooking (see note).
- Using a large bowl, add the cornstarch, Cajun seasoning, salt and pepper; stir until well combined.
- Using paper towels, pat the chicken breast pieces to remove any excess moisture. Place chicken into bowl with cornstarch mixture; toss until well coated.
- Brush grill grates with vegetable oil (or spray with nonstick grilling spray).
- Remove chicken from bowl and grill over indirect heat for 20-25 minutes, flipping every 5 minutes. Once chicken is fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F), remove from grill and toss in buffalo sauce.
- Before serving, garnish with chopped green onions.
- Serve with chopped celery sticks, carrots and blue cheese dressing or ranch dressing.
Notes
Indirect cooking on a grill is the opposite of cooking over direct flame. Most ceramic grill/smokers have inserts for indirect grilling. If you have a gas grill, you can set it up for indirect grilling by turning the two outside burners on medium or medium-low. Then just leave the middle burner(s) off. This method is called “M-O-M,” or medium-off-medium. You will grill the chicken wings over the middle (off) portion of the grill. For charcoal grills, simply pile equal amounts of charcoal on either side of the grill but leave the center portion without any charcoal. You will grill the chicken wings over the middle (no charcoal) portion of the grill.
