Garlic And Herb Marinated Buttermilk Chicken Food

BUTTERMILK ROAST CHICKEN WITH GARLIC

Steps:

• Combine buttermilk, olive oil, minced garlic, minced fresh parsley, salt and black pepper in a small bowl and whisk really well. Place chicken drumsticks in one-gallon freezer bag, pour the buttermilk marinade over the chicken and distribute evenly over all chicken drumsticks. Squeeze as much air out of the freezer bag as possible and close the bag. Refrigerate the marinated chicken in a freezer bag for 24 hours.
• After your chicken has been marinated for 24 hours, preheat oven to 400 F. Use a medium size casserole dish - I used 2.5 quart oval casserole dish ( 13 inches * 9 inches *4 inches deep). Place chicken in the casserole dish - and pour all of the marinade on top and around the chicken. Roast for about 30-45 minutes (depends on your oven), until chicken juices run clear, the chicken drumsticks are browned and scorched in spots. If needed, broil for about 5-10 more minutes to get more color.
• Serve immediately, use the sauce from the pan.

• When you are ready to cook the chicken, preheat your oven to 375 °F.
• Remove the chicken from the marinade and place onto a baking sheet lined with a rack. Place the pieces 1-2 inches apart, leaving space between.
• Bake in the oven for 30-35 minutes or until the meat reaches an internal temperature of 185 °F.

BUTTERMILK FRIED CHICKEN

Steps:

• For the marinade, in a medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, shallot, garlic, jalapeño, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon black pepper.
• With a rolling pin or a meat mallet, pound the chicken breasts between 2 sheets of parchment paper until they are evenly 1/2 inch thick. Slice each chicken breast in half crosswise so you have 2 pieces approximately the same size.
• Add the chicken to the marinade, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 8 hours but not more than 24 hours.
• Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, celery salt, 1 tablespoon salt, and 1 1/2 teaspoons black pepper and set aside.
• When ready to cook the chicken, preheat the oven to 250 degrees. Place a sheet pan with a baking rack on it in the oven.
• Pour the oil into a medium (9-inch round x 4 1/2-inch high) Dutch oven, such as Le Creuset, fitted with a candy thermometer, until the oil is 2 inches deep. Heat the oil over high heat until the temperature reaches 350 degrees.
• Meanwhile, lift the chicken from the marinade, dredge it well in the flour mixture, submerge it again in the marinade, then dredge again in the flour mixture, dusting off the excess. Transfer the chicken to a plate or sheet pan until ready to fry.
• When the oil is 350 degrees, lower three pieces only(!) carefully into the oil with a slotted spoon and adjust the heat to keep the oil at 350 degrees. Don't crowd the chicken! Cook for 5 minutes exactly, turning once to brown evenly. With the slotted spoon, transfer the chicken to the sheet pan in the oven to keep warm. Fry the remaining three pieces, sprinkle all the chicken with salt, and serve hot.

BUTTERMILK CHICKEN

Steps:

• Flatten the garlic cloves with the end of a rolling pin, the side of a knife, or in a pestle and mortar. (If you chop or fully crush the garlic it could burn when the chicken is baked.) Put in a large bowl and add the buttermilk.
• Roughly chop the leaves from half the parsley, if using, and return the rest to the fridge.
• Stir the chopped parsley, rosemary, sugar, salt and pepper into the buttermilk. Add the chicken and turn to coat in the marinade. Cover the bowl and leave in the fridge for at least 8 hours, or overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 200C/180C Fan/Gas 6. Line a large baking tray with foil and place a rack on top. Take the chicken out of the marinade, gently shaking off excess buttermilk and garlic. Place on the rack, with the thighs skin-side up. Discard the marinade.
• Roast the chicken for 35-40 minutes, or until lightly browned in places and cooked through. The chicken is cooked when the juices run clear when pierced with a skewer in the thickest part. Chop the remaining parsley leaves and sprinkle over the chicken just before serving. Eat hot or cold with salad and baked potatoes, boiled new potatoes or chips.

GRILLED BUTTERMILK CHICKEN

• Heat grill to medium with direct and indirect heat zones. Brush grates with oil. Remove chicken from marinade, and pat dry with paper towels. Grill breast halves, thighs, and drumsticks, skin side down, over direct heat for 10 minutes. Flip, move to indirect heat, and grill, covered, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of thighs registers 165 degrees, 10 to 15 minutes. Grill wings over direct heat, flipping often, until cooked through, about 15 minutes.

SMOKED BUTTERMILK HERB CHICKEN BREASTS

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients except for the chicken in a blender. Pulse until smooth. Pour over chicken and let marinate in a non-reactive covered dish or plastic zip top bag for 4-24 hours. The longer the brining time, the more flavor they will pick up.
• Remove chicken from the brine and pat dry on paper towels, otherwise the chicken may be too salty.
• Place breasts on the rack of a Weber grill fitted with the Smokenator 1000 filled to manufacturers directions with water/charcoal/wood chips once the temperature of the grill lid is stabilized around 215-230 degrees. Smoke for about 1 1/2-2 hours, being sure to keep the temperature steady and adding charocoal/wood chips as needed to keep a steady amount of smoke.
• Allow the breasts to rest for 5 minutes, then slice and enjoy!
