Interesting Facts

Buttermilk helps tenderize the chicken by breaking down proteins, resulting in a juicy and flavorful meat.

Marinating the chicken in buttermilk not only adds flavor but also helps keep the meat moist during roasting.

The combination of spices and herbs in the marinade gives the chicken a deliciously aromatic and savory taste.
