Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon salt
• 1 teaspoon white sugar

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.

Step 2

Remove chicken from marinade and shake off excess. Discard remaining marinade.

Step 3

Whisk buttermilk, hot sauce, salt, red pepper flakes, Italian seasoning, black pepper, and sugar in a glass or ceramic bowl until salt and sugar dissolve. Add chicken and toss to evenly coat.

Step 4

Transfer chicken-buttermilk mixture to resealable plastic bags, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bags. Marinate in the refrigerator, 2 hours to overnight.

Step 5

Cook chicken on the preheated grill, flipping occasionally, until grill marks form, no longer pink in centers, and juices run clear, about 5 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into centers should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees).
