- Next, for the buffalo sauce, place the hot sauce and butter in a sauce pot.
- Finally, sprinkle the chicken thighs with salt and pepper.

2 Grill Prep
- Fuel: We recommend Kingsford® Charcoal with Applewood for its sweet and fruity wood flavor.
- Method: Two-Zone Method
- Temp: 400°F (Medium Heat)
Carefully hold your hand about 5” to 6” above the grate, and refer to the temperature settings below:
• High Heat (450° to 550°F):
2 to 4 seconds
• Medium Heat (350° to 450°F):
5 to 6 seconds
• Low Heat (250° to 350°F):
8 to 10 seconds
Make sure your clothing doesn’t touch the grate, and always move your hand away from the heat before you feel discomfort.
When you’re at temp, put cooking oil on a folded paper towel. Grab the oiled paper towel with long-handled tongs and oil the grate thoroughly.

3 The Cook
- When you’re at temp, put cooking oil on a folded paper towel. Grab the oiled paper towel with long-handled tongs and oil the grate thoroughly.
- Place the sauce pot with the buffalo sauce ingredients on the cooler side of the grill, and let it simmer.
- Place the chicken thighs directly over the coals until the internal temperature reaches 165°F on a digital meat thermometer, about 5 to 7 minutes on each side.
- Add the lettuce wedges and tomatoes to the grill, and let them grill until char marks have formed.
- Remove everything from the grill.
- Chop the chicken up, and place it in a bowl and coat it with the buffalo sauce.
- Plate a grilled iceberg wedge and layer it with the grilled tomatoes, bacon and a large dollop of blue cheese dressing.
- Add the buffalo chicken to the salad and serve.
