Instructions

Whisk together hot sauce, olive oil, honey, vinegar, garlic, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Reserve ¼ cup marinade to baste. Add chicken to bowl, toss to coat, and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to 1 hour.
In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, buttermilk, vinegar, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Fold in the crumbled blue cheese last. Set it aside.
Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Place chicken on grill and cook for about 5 minutes or until grill marks appear. Flip and cook another 3-5 minutes, basting with reserved marinade, until chicken registers 165°. Transfer to a cutting board, and let rest for 10 minutes.
