Best ever Buttermilk Marinated No-Fry Crunchy Grilled Chicken Legs an Instant Classic Around Here-

allsid

I have seen people marinade chicken on the bone in Buttermilk before and have even done it a few times myself.  But nothing prepared me for how easy and delicious this recipe turned out.

In past attempts, I must not have let the chicken take a long enough soak in the buttermilk for it to be effective.  This time, it soaked for over 24 hours and the longer duration did the trick!

Prep could not have been easier.  Soak overnight.  Drain.  I was doing a bit of a test on the breading so I did a few with breading and a few with herb spices. The breaded ones were double dipped.  They went from the buttermilk brine, into italian breadcrumbs, back to buttermilk, and then a second coating of breadcrumbs.

The herb ones got a couple different flavors of Heathers dirty goodness seasonings.

Egg was stable at about 350-

Grate-3 bricks on top- grill grates on the bricks

After 20 min, I brushed the chicken with an amazing herb infused olive oil and again after another 20.

A few turns and total cook time was about 2 hours.

Became an instant classic around here.  I wonder if Buttermilk would have the same effect on pork?
