Buffalo Chicken Tenders make a really delicious tailgating or camping meal or snack. Easy to make with only 2 ingredients! We marinated 5 pounds of chicken tenders in “Frank’s Garlic Wing Sauce” so there was no heat just flavor with a nice “Kiss of Smoke”. We normally make our own buffalo sauce but we wanted to keep this one tailgating easy.

Patti and I have set one night a week just for us. It’s our date night. We usually put something special on our Green Mountain Wood Pellet Grill/Smoker but sometimes we cook inside. We always eat outside on our patio where it is very comfortable with a rainforest theme.  Wood Pellet Patio Heater, little lights, candles, lanterns, and surround sound. We enjoy a little wine, or strawberry margaritas using frozen strawberries for ice, good food, music and sometimes a dance or two…

Cooking Directions: Buffalo Chicken Tenders 

Rinse your chicken tenders with cold water and blot dry with paper towels.

Pour them into a bowl with about half a bottle of the Frank’s wing sauce. Mix well.

I poured the other half into a squeeze bottle that I put on the chicken after I flipped them once.

Preheat the grill to 350* (177c) and light your Wedgie for that “Kiss of Smoke”.

We used Green Mountain’s grill mats here because chicken tenders are tender and like to fall through the grill grates. GMG’s grill mats keep things easy. Place these directly onto the grill.

Spread your chicken over the grill mats, I gave them a flip every 5 minutes. (30-minute cook)

About halfway through my cook I squeezed the rest of my buffalo sauce over the chicken.

Remember, use time when you are cook only as a guideline. Always go by your internal temperature.

When the chicken reaches an internal temperature around 165* (74c) pull it off.

U.S.D.A. safe is 165* (74c). Keep in mind that the meat will continue cooking for another 5 to 10 degrees after you pull it off the grill. I use a Maverick ProTemp Instant Read Thermometer for checking meat temps.

You can serve these with or without a dipping sauce or in buns as sandwiches. One of our favorite sauces is our “Wild Wings Dipping Sauce”. (see recipe)

Note: I get a lot of questions about the kind of pellets you can use with a recipe. Keep in mind that a recipe is just an outline. Some you need to follow closely like when you are making bread, but most you can do anything you can dream, our favorite way to cook. Feel free to mix and match the pellets until you find a combination you really like. Also, you are only smoking at temps less than 250* (122c), anything higher is cooking and there will not be much if any smoke so it does not matter what kind of pellet you are using.

About our Recipes

We do our recipes on our patio where we have a lineup of grills, including Green Mountain, Uuni Wood Fired Pizza Oven, Sawtooth, Louisiana, Royall, Memphis, Traeger pellet grills, Char Griller side box smoker, Saber, Charmglow, Char-Broil, The Big Easy, Lodge Sportsman’s, Brinkman and Weber. I call it our “Wall of Grill”. Our grilling styles are healthy and low fat and will fit pelletheads, gas, natural wood, and even charcoal purists. Almost any of our recipes can be done on any kind of good BBQ.

The important thing to keep in mind is TIME & TEMPERATURE. You can do our recipes on any grill, even some of them in the oven or crock pot, but, then you lose all the flavors you get from cooking outdoors. But sometimes it does rain.

Remember that a recipe is simply an outline; it is not written in stone. Don’t be afraid to make changes to suit your taste. Take it and run with it….

Live your Passion and Do What You Love,
Ken & Patti
