Buttermilk Chicken

Slow marinating in a garlic and maple buttermilk marinade gives this chicken such great taste.

I love anything that’s tasty yet simple. Who doesn’t?

A few years ago, I tried a buttermilk chicken recipe I’d found off Pinterest. It wasn’t very good so it wasn’t a keeper.

I ran across another buttermilk chicken recipe just recently from famous UK TV chef Nigella Lawson. Her recipe used less garlic and a spice I’m not very fond of, so I altered that.

Delicious as it looks

But the secret–that was not contained in the recipe I’d made all those years ago–is that the chicken has got to marinate overnight and be cooked at a high temperature. That’s the key!

This also contains one of my favorite ingredients–maple syrup.

This is so delicious and juicy, it’s sure to become a keeper. It’s easy too, which adds to my love of this recipe.
