Instructions: How to Cook Nashville Hot Grilled Chicken
- In a small bowl, mix together the hot sauce, brown sugar, paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.

- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and brush the grates with vegetable oil to prevent sticking.

- Once the chicken is cooked, brush it with the heated marinade for an extra kick of flavor.
- Serve the Nashville Hot Grilled Chicken hot with your favorite sides and enjoy!
