Method

Chicken Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, mix the olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken breasts and coat them evenly with the marinade. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Grill the Chicken

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the marinated chicken breasts for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes.

Sauce Preparation

  1. 3

    Prepare the Buffalo Sauce

    In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Once melted, add the hot sauce and stir well to combine. Heat until warm, stirring occasionally.

Assembly

  1. 4

    Combine Chicken and Sauce

    Slice the grilled chicken into strips and place them in a large bowl. Pour the buffalo sauce over the chicken and toss to coat evenly.

  2. 5

    Garnish

    Chop the green onions into small pieces. Sprinkle them over the buffalo chicken for garnish.
