A friend gave me this recipe for "Buttermilk" Roast Chicken and when I saw that there wasn't any buttermilk in the recipe I was surprised. Buttermilk always keeps chicken so moist. The yogurt and milk do the same in this recipe.

Ingredients

  • 4 pounds chicken thighs
  • 1 cup plain yogurt
  • 1 cup milk
  • 5 cloves garlic, peeled and smashed
  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons curry powder
  • - freshly ground black pepper to taste

How To Make "buttermilk" roast chicken

  • Step 1
    Wash the chicken and put into a gallon-sized freezer bag. Add the yogurt, milk, garlic, salt, honey, curry powder and black pepper. Swish/swirl so that all parts are covered. Refrigerate for at least 12 hours or up to 48 hours. The longer the marinating time, the better.
  • Step 2
    When ready to roast, line a rimmed baking sheet or dish with aluminum foil. Arrange the chicken in a single layer. Bake in an oven at 325-degrees for 45 minutes to 1 hour, depending on how crispy/brown you want the skin to be. I leave my chicken in for an hour.
  • Step 3
    The chicken will be moist and tender, and the skin will be beautifully brown and crisp.
