Equipment

  • Large Mixing Bowl
  • Grill or Oven

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 cups buttermilk
  • 1 Tbsp. garlic powder
  • 1 Tbsp. dried Italian seasonings
  • 1 tsp. ground red pepper
  • 2 tsp. coarse salt
  • 3 lbs. bone-in chicken pieces

Instructions
 

  • In a small bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, garlic powder, Italian seasonings, ground red pepper, and salt until combined.
  • Pour the buttermilk mixture into a large zip-top bag or baking dish. Add the chicken pieces, ensuring they are well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
  • About 30 minutes before cooking, remove the chicken from the refrigerator.
  • If grilling, preheat the grill to medium-low heat. Discard the marinade and place the chicken on the grill, cooking for about 30-40 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  • If baking, preheat the oven to 450°F (232°C). Arrange the chicken in a single layer in an oven-safe skillet or baking pan. Bake for about 30 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  • Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving.
