Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together ½ cup of buffalo sauce, ¼ cup of honey, and 2 minced garlic cloves until well combined.
  2. Take 1.5 pounds of boneless, skinless chicken thighs and pat them dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt, pepper, and parsley.
  3. Add 2 tablespoons of prepared honey buffalo sauce to the seasoned chicken thighs, coating each piece thoroughly.
  4. Preheat the grill to medium-low heat, around 300°F. Ensure grates are clean and lightly oiled.

  6. During the last few minutes of grilling, baste the chicken with remaining sauce.
  7. Once cooked, let the chicken rest for about 5 minutes before serving, garnished with chopped green onions.
