Ingredients

  • 2 pounds boneless chicken thighs or breasts
  • ¼ cup butter
  • ¼ cup honey
  • ¼ cup Louisiana Hot Sauce
  • 1 teaspoon granulated garlic
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • ranch dressing for serving optional

Instructions

  • Prepare a grill fire to about 350° using hickory or pecan chunks for smoke flavor.
  • Cut chicken into small pieces.
  • Make the hot honey sauce by combining honey, hot sauce, butter, garlic, salt and pepper in a small skillet over low heat. When butter is melted, whisk together until sauce starts to bubble. Remove from heat and set aside. 
  • Cook chicken over indirect heat with the grill closed about 10 minutes. Using a digital meat thermometer, cook chicken until internal temperature reaches 160°. 
  • Remove from grill to a bowl and pour hot honey sauce over the chicken. Toss with tongs to coat.
  • Return chicken to the grill. 
  • Quickly pour remaining sauce over the chicken. The hot sauce will steam, so quickly close the grill. 
  • Continue to cook chicken about 5 - 10 minutes until internal temperature reaches 165°. 
  • Remove from grill to a serving platter and serve immediately. 
  • Serve with ranch dressing for a dipping sauce if desired.

Notes

How to Store and Reheat:

Store leftover chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 3 days.
