Ingredients

Instructions 

  • Season the chicken all over with salt and pepper. Place it in a dish, bowl or resealable bag and cover it with ⅔ cup of the buffalo wing sauce. Place it in the fridge (cover if in a dish/bowl). Marinate for at least 30 minutes and even overnight.
  • Preheat your grill to the highest setting and remove the chicken from the fridge.
  • Once the grill is hot, place the corn directly on the grates and grill for 2 to 3 minutes before rotating. Repeat this until the corn has been grilled all around and has a few char marks. Remove the corn from the grill and let it cool until it can be handled comfortably.
  • Place the chicken directly on the grill and let the excess marinade drip off bag into the bowl/bag. Grill for 6 minutes. Flip, and grill for 6 minutes more, or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F.
  • While the chicken is grilling, cut the corn from the cob. Add in the scallions, chives, cilantro and lime juice. Add a pinch of salt and pepper and toss.
  • Right before the chicken is done, cover each piece with a slice of cheddar. Close the lid and let the cheese melt for 1 minute or so. Remove the chicken from the grill. Drizzle it all with the remaining wing sauce.
  • Serve the chicken with the corn salad!
