Table of Contents

Do y'all know how cheap chicken legs are? I had no idea. SP bought a guild pack that was almost four 1/2 pounds for nigh $4. That's 99 cents per pound, folks. Chicken breasts are at to the lowest degree $2.99/pound on sale, thus this is a huge savings. My exclusively employment is I'm non a huge fan of nighttime meat. I know it's to a greater extent than flavorful as well as easier to arrive at since it tin handgrip beingness overcooked inwards a means white meat can't, but I'm withal non sold. Even so, I figured I'd give nighttime meat a whirl amongst this recipe for Buttermilk Roast Chicken.


The fundamental to this recipe is marinating the chicken for at to the lowest degree 24 hours. The flavour actually soaked into the meat, although the destination consequence was a tad salty for my tastes. And man child was the meat juicy. Delicious.


Even so, this recipe needed a lilliputian oomph. The flavour was there, but SP stance these legs would accept been perfect amongst some fourth dimension on the grill, both for added flavour as well as for texture. The peel on the legs was pale as well as rubbery instead of crispy. I've modified the directions below. If y'all can't grill, I'd recommend either broiling the legs i time they're cooked or cooking them longer to crispy upward the peel a bit.
