Chicken Marinade

Method

Marinating the Chicken

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a mixing bowl, combine the buffalo sauce, olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Whisk until well blended.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish and pour the marinade over the chicken. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.

Cooking the Chicken

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F to 400°F).

  2. 4

    Grill the Chicken

    Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the marinade. Grill the chicken for about 6-8 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and the chicken is cooked through.

Assembling the Dish

  1. 5

    Prepare the Toppings

    While the chicken is grilling, prepare the toppings. Chop the lettuce, dice the tomatoes, and shred the cheddar cheese.

  2. 6

    Serve the Buffalo Chicken

    Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes. Slice the chicken and serve it on a plate topped with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheddar cheese, and a drizzle of ranch dressing. Garnish with chopped green onions.
