Barbecue Buffalo Chicken Thighs with Avocado

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Crispy Barbecue Buffalo Chicken Thighs with Avocado! It’s been so freaking cold in Melbourne lately, we needed a little spice to warm us up. Yes, I am aware I said a little,’ which doesn’t seem to cut it next to the word, or recipe, Buffalo.

My daughter, being the little genius she is, saw Buffalo wings on her Instagram somewhere and suddenly wanted (okay, more like craving, clawing at my shirt and begging me), for a KFC all out Zinger binge. Oh, hell no child…

How did she relate Buffalo to Zinger? I don’t know. Teenagers and their raving lunatic hormones.

Since trying Buffalo wings in NYC a few years ago…I was a mild-ish fan and much younger, ignorant to Buffalo chicken since we don’t (or didn’t) really do Buffalo flavours in Australia…or I should say, they aren’t as readily available in comparison to American restaurants and diners.

Remembering the flavour and checking out a few recipes, I decided to settle on a concoction from the voices in my head. Barbecue sauce mixed with Buffalo flavour.

Oh. Hello.

And of course, being a blogger and all, I have to taste test the recipe three times before I let it loose on the world ‘wild’ web. Let me just say it was enough to blow my innocent taste buds into a sinful and fiery rage of a rich and sinful buffalo flavour, with the added hint of sweetness from the barbecue sauce. Served with creamy Avocado slices to cool down the rage going on…this was a flaming hit.

Oh. So cheesy, Karina.

    It’s always interesting to read from other food bloggers around the world as it’s in the 90’s here in San Diego, California and I would love to have a cold day! These look so good, and I’m a big fan of Buffalo. The glaze on these has my mouth watering and Franks is the best, right? Pinned!

      No no, don’t wish for cold days yet! Before you know it they will come by and you’ll be wishing for warmer weather again (that’s if California gets cold)? And yes. Franks is a win! Thank you for pinning! I’m off to stalk you soon!
