Yield Serves 2; can be doubled

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon hot pepper sauce
2 teaspoons honey
1 teaspoon paprika
7 green onions
2 skinless boneless chicken breast halves

Steps:

  • Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Whisk oil, hot sauce, honey and paprika in 9-inch glass pie dish to blend. Mince 1 green onion; mix into marinade. Transfer 2 tablespoons marinade to small bowl and reserve. Add chicken to marinade in pie dish and turn to coat. Let stand 10 minutes, turning occasionally.
  • Sprinkle chicken and remaining whole green onions with salt. Grill chicken and whole onions until chicken is cooked through and onions soften, turning occasionally, about 10 minutes. Transfer chicken and onions to plates. Drizzle with reserved 2 tablespoons marinade.

Tips:

  • To ensure the chicken is cooked thoroughly, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached 165°F (74°C).
  • If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can also check if the chicken is cooked by making a small incision in the thickest part of the breast. The juices should run clear, not pink.
  • For a spicier marinade, add more cayenne pepper or chili powder. You can also add a pinch of smoked paprika for a smoky flavor.
  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
  • To make the chicken extra crispy, grill it over medium-high heat. Just be sure to watch it closely so it doesn't burn.
  • Serve the chicken with your favorite sides, such as roasted potatoes, grilled vegetables, or a simple salad.
