Prepare the grill for direct cooking with the vent fully opened.

Grill the chicken for 4 to 5 minutes on each side.

Start by mixing plain Greek yogurt with crumbled blue cheese in a bowl using a whisk.

Add a pinch of salt and freshly ground pepper to the yogurt and blue cheese mixture and mix gently.

Drizzle olive oil over the chicken to help season it with salt and pepper.

Grill the chicken, seasoning with salt, pepper, and a pinch of chili powder.

Melt salted butter in a pot on the grill, then add Frank's RedHot and a pinch of chili powder to make the buffalo sauce.

Remove the chicken from the grill once cooked and set aside.

Toast the buns on the grill until golden brown.

Assemble the sandwich by spreading the blue cheese mixture on the bottom bun, adding romaine lettuce, grilled onions, and the grilled chicken, then topping with more blue cheese mixture and the top bun.
