Related: About this forumI soaked chicken in milk
I've made buttermilk chicken before and it was worth the effort. I didn't have buttermilk today, but had some whole cow milk I wasn't going to use. So I soaked 2 very large chicken breasts in the milk for about 6 hours. I use meat tenderizer and a meat hammer (started for my husband, but I like tender chicken too) then breaded it in flour and pan fried it. It turned out fabulous- tender, juicy, and flavorful.
The breasts were really big, enough for 4 servings, so I expected them to be tough in spite of my work. I'm glad I tried it.

Let milk sit for 10-15 minutes, then use. No vinegar taste.

Have you ever made buttermilk pie? It is so good.

(16,926 posts)I like cornbread and corn pudding, but I don't think I'll try cornbread and buttermilk. Maybe I should try a taste of buttermilk next time I get some. My mom loved it. We mentored a Japanese college girl and one time when she was at our house, she saw Mom's quart of buttermilk and drank almost the whole thing right out of the container. She said the Japanese call it gogurt (something like that, it was a long time ago)
