Sprinkle dried parsley on both sides of the chicken.

In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup of hot sauce (Frank's Red Hot), 1 tablespoon of melted butter, and 2 1/2 tablespoons of raw honey. Whisk until creamy.

Add 2 minced garlic cloves to the sauce and mix well.

Toss the chicken thighs with 2 tablespoons of the honey buffalo sauce, reserving the rest for basting.

Preheat the grill on medium-low heat.

Place the chicken thighs on the grill smooth side down, ensuring they are not crowded.

Grill the chicken for 3 to 4 minutes, then flip and grill for another 3 to 4 minutes until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches between 165°F and 170°F.

Baste the chicken with the reserved honey buffalo sauce during the last few flips.

Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest before plating.

Garnish the chicken with chopped green onions before serving.
