Summer is here…you know what that means? Backyard BBQ’s, neighborhood get together, picnic’s in the park. Everyone knows I am NOT a fan of the HEAT of Summer, but I love getting together with friends. Whenever I can I make sure that I take or serve this Garlic Buttermilk Chicken. Tender, full of flavor and a crispy outside. DELISH!
GARLIC BUTTERMILK CHICKEN
2 Quarts Buttermilk
1/4 Cup Garlic, minced from a jar with juice.
1 tsp Pepper
1 teaspoon Onion Powder
1/4 Cup Sriracha Sauce or Hot Wings Sauce
1/3 Cup Lime Juice
18-22 Chicken Drumsticks with skin on
In a large bowl combine all the ingredients except chicken. Stir to combine well. Divide chicken between 2 plastic bags.
Divide/ pour buttermilk mixture evenly between the chicken. Let chill overnight or for at least 8 hours.
Turning chicken every so often during this time. The next day take chicken out of the buttermilk, place onto a greased baking sheet.
Turn your oven broiler on high. Broil the drumsticks for 4 minutes on each side. Or until brown and crispy.
You can now bake or grill them to finish cooking the chicken. If baking ~ Bake @400 for 15 minutes.
If Grilling~ Grill on low for 15-20 minutes turning often. *making sure that chicken is cooked through.
This chicken is great served warm or cold. If you’re lucky enough to have left overs, it is fabulous diced up for chicken salad.
However you choose to serve it, you are not going to be disappointed.
Winner, Winner Chicken Dinner,
