Excellent grilled chicken. The buttermilk brine keeps it moist and tender....plan ahead, it needs to brine at least 4 hours. Adapted from a Sunset recipe. Ingredients:
1 quart buttermilk |
1/2 cup chopped shallot |
2 tablespoons chopped garlic |
2 tablespoons kosher salt |
2 tablespoons sugar |
1 tablespoon ground cumin |
1 teaspoon pepper |
3 -4 lbs cut-up chicken |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, mix buttermilk, shallots, garlic, salt, sugar, cumin and pepper.
2. Rinse chicken parts and pat dry; trim off excess fat and submerge chicken into buttermilk brine; cover and chill for at least 4 hours or up to 1 day.
3. Lift chicken from brine; discard the brine; wipe excess from chicken with paper towels.
4. Grill chicken over medium coals or medium heat on a gas grill; close lid and cook, turning frequently, until browned on both sides and no longer pink at the bone, about 30-40 minutes depending on the size of your chicken pieces.
