Weekly What’s Cooking with Melissa Cummins

Wow another holiday to prepare for, July 4th! If you’re looking for good and easy recipes for your Fourth of July cookout, look no further! This week I’d like to share a recipe for Grilled Garlic Buttermilk Chicken.

Grilled Garlic Buttermilk Chicken
1 1/2 cup buttermilk
3 tsp. garlic, minced
1 tbsp. paprika
1/2 tsp. salt
3/4 tsp. black pepper
5 lbs. chicken, bone in pieces

In a bowl combine the buttermilk, garlic, paprika, salt and pepper. Divide the mixture into 2 gallon size plastic zipper bags. Place the chicken in the bags and marinate the chicken for 2 hours to overnight. Occasionally turn the bags. Once the grill is heated, cook the chicken for 30 to 40 minutes, turning occasionally, making certain the chicken is thoroughly cooked. Discard buttermilk marinade.
