Steps:
- Preheat a grill for indirect cooking over medium-high-heat (350 to 400 degrees F).
- Combine the buttermilk, blue cheese, vinegar and Worcestershire in a medium bowl; add the carrots and celery and toss thoroughly. Allow to sit at room temperature while you cook the chicken.
- Combine the hot sauce and butter in a small saucepan and bring to a boil; cook until slightly thickened, 1 to 2 minutes.
- Meanwhile, grill the chicken, meaty-side up, and cook until the underside is well-marked and readily releases from the surface, about 15 minutes. Turn and cook until a thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the meat (not touching bone) registers 165 degrees F, about 15 more minutes. Brush liberally with the sauce, then turn the chicken and brush the tops with more sauce. Grill 1 more minute. Serve with the slaw.

BUFFALO CHICKEN THIGHS
These chicken thighs go well with a side of celery sticks and light ranch dressing. After breezermom's helpful review, I changed the heat to cook the chicken in the skillet from medium high to medium. The medium high heat is too low for me, but my oven is old and the burners probably aren't as hot as newer stoves.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- Combine first four ingredients in a heavy-duty zip-top plastic bag; seal.
- Shake to blend.
- Add half of chicken to bag; seal; shake to coat.
- Remove chicken from bag, shaking to remove excess flour mixture.
- Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.

Tips:
- For the best flavor, use boneless, skinless chicken thighs. They are juicier and more flavorful than chicken breasts.
- To make sure the chicken is cooked through, grill it over medium heat for 10-12 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- The buffalo sauce can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Just reheat it gently before using.
- For a healthier version of the buffalo sauce, use Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise. It's just as creamy and tangy, but it has less fat and calories.
- The blue cheese slaw is a great way to add some freshness and crunch to the dish. It's also very easy to make. Just combine all of the ingredients in a bowl and toss to coat.
Conclusion:
Grilled buffalo chicken thighs with blue cheese slaw is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a summer cookout. The chicken is juicy and flavorful, the sauce is tangy and spicy, and the slaw is清爽爽口. This dish is sure to be a hit with everyone at your party.
