Instructions: How to Cook Nashville Hot Grilled Chicken

  1. 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.
  2. Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Make sure the chicken is well coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.
  3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and brush the grates with vegetable oil to prevent sticking.
  4. Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the chicken is cooked through.
  5. While the chicken is grilling, heat the remaining marinade in a small saucepan until it thickens slightly.
  6. Once the chicken is cooked, brush it with the heated marinade for an extra kick of flavor.
  7. Serve the Nashville Hot Grilled Chicken hot with your favorite sides and enjoy!
