Garlic Buttermilk Roast Chicken Recipes

BUTTERMILK ROAST CHICKEN

Steps:

• Butterfly chicken by placing breast side down and using heavy-duty kitchen shears to cut along both sides of backbone. Discard backbone, turn chicken over and open it like a book. Press gently to flatten it.
• Place chicken in a large freezer bag. Add buttermilk, 1/4 cup oil, garlic, peppercorns, salt, rosemary and honey. Seal bag securely and refrigerate overnight or up to two days.
• Heat oven to 400 degrees. Remove chicken from marinade and place on a rack so excess can drip off. Line a roasting pan with foil and place chicken in pan. Drizzle with remaining 2 tablespoons oil. Roast for 45 minutes, then reduce heat to 325 degrees. Continue roasting until well browned and until juices run clear when chicken is pierced where leg joins thigh, about another 20 minutes.
• Place chicken on a carving board and allow to rest for 10 minutes before cutting into serving pieces. Place a portion on each of four plates, and drizzle each serving with pan juices.

BUTTERMILK ROAST CHICKEN

Steps:

• Place the chicken drumsticks in a large freezer bag, and add the buttermilk and 1/4 cup of oil.
• Add the bruised garlic cloves to the bag with the crushed peppercorns and salt.
• Sprinkle in the ground cumin and finally add the maple syrup, and then squish everything in the freezer bag around to mix the marinade and coat the chicken.
• Leave the buttermilk marinated chicken in the fridge ideally overnight or out of the fridge for at least 30 minutes and up to 2 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Take the chicken pieces out of the bag shaking off the excess marinade, and then arrange them in a roasting tin lined with foil.
• Drizzle over the 2 remaining tablespoons of oil, and then roast in the oven for about 30 minutes, or until brown, even scorched in parts, and juicily cooked through.

GARLIC BUTTERMILK ROAST CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet or a 9x13-inch baking pan, or line with aluminum foil.
• Pour buttermilk into a shallow bowl. Combine potato flakes and Parmesan cheese in a large resealable plastic bag; shake until well mixed. Dip 1 piece of chicken in the buttermilk, then place in the plastic bag. Seal the bag and shake until chicken is coated in the potato flake mixture. Place chicken on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining chicken.
• Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is tender and golden brown, 45 to 60 minutes.

BUTTERMILK ROASTED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Mix buttermilk, 1/2 cup oil, honey, rosemary, garlic, salt, and pepper in a bowl until salt is dissolved.
• Divide chicken pieces between two 1-gallon zip-top bags. Pour 1/2 of the buttermilk into each bag. Press out as much air as possible and seal bags. Place on a rimmed dish or plate in case bag leaks. Refrigerate 8 hours to overnight, or preferably for 2 days. Flip bag halfway through marinating time.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Take the chicken out of the bags and place on a wire rack so any extra marinade will drip off. Line a baking pan with aluminum foil and place the chicken in a single layer on the pan. Drizzle chicken with remaining oil.
• Roast chicken in the preheated oven for 45 minutes. Turn off oven and let chicken continue to cook until no longer pink in the center, 7 to 10 minutes more. Remove from oven and let rest 7 to 10 minutes. Garnish with parsley.

BUTTERMILK ROAST CHICKEN WITH GARLIC

Steps:

• Combine buttermilk, olive oil, minced garlic, minced fresh parsley, salt and black pepper in a small bowl and whisk really well. Place chicken drumsticks in one-gallon freezer bag, pour the buttermilk marinade over the chicken and distribute evenly over all chicken drumsticks. Squeeze as much air out of the freezer bag as possible and close the bag. Refrigerate the marinated chicken in a freezer bag for 24 hours.
• After your chicken has been marinated for 24 hours, preheat oven to 400 F. Use a medium size casserole dish - I used 2.5 quart oval casserole dish ( 13 inches * 9 inches *4 inches deep). Place chicken in the casserole dish - and pour all of the marinade on top and around the chicken. Roast for about 30-45 minutes (depends on your oven), until chicken juices run clear, the chicken drumsticks are browned and scorched in spots. If needed, broil for about 5-10 more minutes to get more color.
• Serve immediately, use the sauce from the pan.

BUTTERMILK ROAST CHICKEN RECIPE

Steps:

• Remove the neck and any giblets (if there are any) from the cavity of the chicken. Freeze for a later use or discard.
• Place a gallon size resealable freezer bag in a large bowl. Place the chicken in the bag with the upper portion of the chicken facing toward the bottom of the bag and the legs toward the opening of the bag.
• In a mixing bowl whisk together buttermilk, salt, pepper, garlic, rosemary and thyme for about 30 seconds.
• Pour mixture over the chicken while also pouring some into the rib cavity of the chicken.
• Seal bag while pressing out as much excess air as possible. Rub the marinade mixture over chicken.
• Transfer to fridge and let marinate at least 12 hours and up to 24 hours. If you have the chance turn the chicken halfway through - if not I recommend marinating breast side down.
• When ready to roast preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Remove chicken from marinade (while pouring any out from the cavity as well) and scrape off buttermilk mixture.
• Transfer to a 12-inch cast iron skillet (or a small roasting pan). Turn and tuck the wings inward underneath the chicken. If desired truss the legs together at the ankles with kitchen twine (this is more for presentation and is completely optional, I don't always truss).
• Have a sheet of foil ready to tent the chicken at any point of baking as needed to prevent excess browning once it's reached the desired level of browning (depending on your oven you may find it's reached the color your looking for around 30 to 45 minutes of roasting, then tent with the foil).
• Place pan in the center of the oven and roast 40 minutes, then rotate the pan to the opposite side (for even browning and cooking. The back of the oven is generally hotter). Continue to roast until the thigh registers 175 degrees and the breast registers 160 degrees in the thickest portion of each, about 30 to 45 minutes longer.
• Transfer chicken to a cutting board, rest 15 minutes then carve. After carving I like to sprinkle slices with a little salt.
