Smoked Blackened Chicken with Buttermilk Brine
Clean and simple, this Southern Comfort blackened chicken with buttermilk brine delivers the sear you want and the seasoning to match.
Method
Build a hot grill and oil the grates well.
Season the blackened chicken with buttermilk and let it come up toward room temperature.
Grill over direct heat, turning once, until nicely charred and cooked to your liking.
Brush with garlic powder in the last minutes so it glazes without burning.
Rest a few minutes, then finish with smoked paprika and a squeeze of acidity.
