Why should chicken wings have all the fun? ;-) personally, I don't like margarine, but if you want that really "authentic" buffalo flavor (which I always found a bit junky), replace the butter with margarine.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken. Boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs are best for this recipe. If using breasts, slice them into 1-inch strips. If using thighs, trim away any excess fat and cut them into 1-inch pieces.
  • Make sure the chicken is evenly coated in the marinade. The longer the chicken marinates, the more flavorful it will be. However, don't marinate the chicken for more than 24 hours, or it will become too tough.
  • Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. This will help to prevent the chicken from sticking to the grill grates.
  • Grill the chicken for 8-10 minutes per side, or until it is cooked through. Be sure to flip the chicken halfway through grilling to ensure that it cooks evenly.
  • Serve the chicken with your favorite dipping sauce. Ranch dressing, blue cheese dressing, or honey mustard sauce are all great options.

Conclusion:

Grilled buffalo chicken sticks are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They are perfect for parties, potlucks, or game day gatherings. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can enjoy these tasty treats in no time.
