Grilled Buttermilk Chicken
Con Poulos
How to Make It
Step 1
In a small bowl or measuring cup, combine the buttermilk, garlic, paprika, 1½ teaspoons salt, and ¾ teaspoon pepper.
Step 2
Divide the buttermilk mixture and chicken between 2 large resealable plastic bags. Let marinate in the refrigerator, turning the bags occasionally, for at least 1 hour and up to overnight.
Step 3
Heat grill to medium-low. Remove the chicken from the marinade (discard the marinade) and grill, covered, turning occasionally, until cooked through, 30 to 40 minutes.

This is one of my favorite, basic chicken recipes. I always make extra, take the cooked meat off the bone before storing it and use it in salads and sandwiches throughout the week. Here's my go-to guide for cooking times/temps for bone-in chicken: http://www.perdue.com/Tips_From_The_Kitchen/Cooking_Times/Chicken_Cooking_Times/chicken_parts_with_bone.asp

This recipe is excellent. Overnight is definitely better than just a few hours. Just remember to trim the excess chunks of fat/skin before marinating. The chicken is very tender and flavorful. A very nice low cost meal when having company.

Can this recipe be baked in the oven and still have the same effect?

Great dish. Served for our Mother's day lunch and everyone raved over the moistness. I had to give the recipe out several times. Will definitely become a picnic staple.

I marinated over night, and found that the buttermilk kept the chicken very moist. I liked how it really charred on the grill, which doesn't happen with oil based marinades.

I didn't notice that the buttermilk made a difference on the chicken. It tasted like my usual chicken I grill w/out buttermilk. I even marinated it overnight.

I had a question: Can this be made with the skin off? We're trying to eliminate the fats we can.

I tried this on pork chops this weekend and it was a huge hit with my in-laws. I did change it a little so I marinated overnight and roasted the chops in a hot oven instead of grilling, but they came out really well. I look forward to trying this again in the future.
