Buttermilk Roast Chicken



















Another cool and wet weekend ahead of us.  By dinnertime, the wind was really blustering.  We had put away our grill so I had to pull out our electric grill and set it up to grill our vegetables for dinner.  It was delicious - a real Fall meal.  The chicken was so tender - and the recipe so simple - I loved the buttermilk, lemon and dill marinade.  Yum.

Buttermilk Roast Chicken

3 1/2 pounds bone - in skin - on chicken pieces
2 cups buttermilk
Zest of 1 lemon
2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
Coarse salt and pepper

1. In a large bowl, combine chicken, buttermilk, zest, dill, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper. Cover and refrigerate 8 hours ( or up to 24 hours).

2. Preheat oven to 450 degrees.  Remove chicken from marinade and pat dry.  Roast chicken on a rimmed baking sheet until cooked through, about 25 minutes.
