Buttermilk Grilled Chicken

From now on, I will grill my chicken ONLY after 8- 10 hours of marinating them in buttermilk! (Important: Don't marinate more than 12 hours in Buttermilk - the spices will start to leach out instead of in!)
The spices / herbs that one adds to the buttermilk infuse the chicken during the marinating process and produce a juicy, delicious chicken that needs absolutely nothing more to enjoy (as in no need for any BBQ sauce!!)
And: You can freeze the leftover marinade and re-use again.
PS: If you prefer to fry instead of grill: Dredge the chicken in flour and fry them, in small batches, in oil / vegetable shortening heated to 325 F / 165 C (don't go above this temperature when frying chicken)

Easy Grilled Chicken Easy Grilled Chicken
Another easy recipe and so easy to cook. I don't usually use an exact measurement for the ingredients I use, as cliche as it sounds I am measuring with my heart lol! So trial and error is the way to go but in my opinion you'll hardly go wrong with this. For this recipe I uses abit more ingredients other than Italian herbs for abit more flavor but really all you really need is the Mixed Italian Herbs by McCormick for that wonderful flavor, anything else is just extra. As for the vegetables I steamed it in the microwave, it's so quick and easy and it retain all the goodness of the veges as opposed to boiling it in water where you loses all the nutrition, it tastes better too.
