Preheat the grill to medium. Melt the butter over medium heat in a medium saucepan.

Stir in the honey and buffalo sauce, season to taste with salt and pepper, and set aside 1/4 cup for garnishing.
Sprinkle remaining chile powder, cumin, salt and pepper evenly over both sides of each breast.
Drizzle each chicken breast with canola oil and grill over medium heat until charred, flip each and brush with the buffalo glaze.
Cover and cook the chicken until cooked through, periodically brushing with the glaze (about 5 minutes).
Meanwhile, whisk the heavy cream and creme fraiche in a bowl, stir in the parsley and cheese, and season to taste with salt and pepper.
