Helpful hints
- This recipe can be easily adjusted to accommodate more or less chicken. For every one pound of chicken use 1 cup buttermilk and 1 tablespoon oil.
- For additional seasoning, add any of your favorite herbs or spices including parsley, rosemary or basil
- Approximately 25% of the marinade is absorbed. Recipe analysis based on this rule.
- Adjust the portion for a lower or higher protein diet.
