Method

  1. Build a hot grill and oil the grates well.

  2. Season the fried chicken with buttermilk and let it come up toward room temperature.

  3. Grill over direct heat, turning once, until nicely charred and cooked to your liking.

  4. Brush with garlic powder in the last minutes so it glazes without burning.

  5. Rest a few minutes, then finish with buttermilk and a squeeze of acidity.
