    Ingredients

    • 8 pieces boneless, skinless chicken thighs, trimmed
    • Extra-virgin olive oil (EVOO) or vegetable oil, for drizzling
    • Granulated onion
    • Granulated garlic
    • Salt and pepper
    • 3 tablespoons butter
    • 1/4 cup hot sauce (eyeball it), such as Frank's RedHot
    • 1 cup sour cream
    • 1/2 cup blue cheese crumbles (crumble up a small wedge)
    • 1/4 cup chopped chives
    • Juice of 1/2 lemon
    • 8 small slider rolls, such as Pepperidge Farm, or soft dinner rolls, split
    • Shredded lettuce, for topping
    • 1/2 cup shredded carrots, for topping

    Preparation

    Preheat an outdoor grill, grill pan or griddle pan to medium-high. Dress the chicken thighs with EVOO and season with a sprinkle of granulated onion, granulated garlic, salt and pepper. Grill, turning once, until cooked through, about 10 minutes.

    While the chicken cooks, in a small saucepan, melt the butter and stir in the hot sauce. Add the chicken to the sauce to coat thoroughly.

    In a small bowl, mix together the sour cream, blue cheese, chives and lemon juice; season with salt and pepper.

    Place the chicken on the roll bottoms and top with the lettuce, carrots and blue cheese sauce; set the roll tops in place.
