My sister made some awesome chicken during my trip to Alaska.
She saw this Buttermilk Grilled Chicken recipe on the Today Show...
It's now a family favorite!
This recipe doesn't call for smoking,
so if you don't have a smoker, no worries.
Smoked Buttermilk Grilled Chicken Recipe:
{Click here to see the recipe directly from the Today Show.}
3 cups buttermilk
8 cloves of garlic, peeled and sliced (my sister forgot the garlic...she used a jar)
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon paprika
1 tablespoon cumin
1 tablespoon chili powder
2 teaspoons salt
3 1/2 - 4 pounds of chicken pieces {breasts, thighs, legs}
Salt & pepper to season chicken when ready to smoke & grill
DIRECTIONS
In a large bowl, combine buttermilk, garlic and spices. Next, place chicken pieces in a large dish, in a single layer. Pour the buttermilk mixture over the chicken, completely covering the pieces. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 12 hours.
Smoking/Grilling the Chicken
Turn on smoker. Lightly coat grill with vegetable oil. Remove chicken from mixture and pat dry. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Smoke for 30 minutes. After smoking, turn grill on medium heat. Grill chicken on both sides and cook until internal temperature reaches 165 F. Remove and enjoy! *A charcoal grill would be fantastic with this recipe!
I don't have a smoker, so I can't tell you how to use one.
My sister's smoker is Traeger. They smoke a lot of fish {salmon} in Alaska!
She used all natural apple wood pellets pictured above for the chicken.
Mmm, mmm good!
Thanks so much for stopping by!
Cheers!
