Keys to Success
• Let that buttermilk “cook” overnight for best results!
• Buttermilk for chicken is like MAGIC... So do this marinade the night before to allow it to work it’s way into the chicken.
• Use any herbs you like! Switch it up if you like Rosemary toss that in instead of thyme!!!
• ALWAYS use an instant read thermometer! It’s the easiest way to ensure the proper temperature
• Let that meat REST!!! Always, always, ALWAYS allow meat that you’ve cooked to rest at minimum 5-10 minutes... don’t wreck all that hard work!
