Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings

  • 2 ½ cups buttermilk

  • 15 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 tablespoon smoked paprika

  • kosher salt and ground black pepper to taste

  • 8 sprigs fresh rosemary

  • 1 (3 to 3 1/2 pound) whole chicken, quartered

Directions

  1. Mix buttermilk, garlic, paprika, salt, and pepper together in a large bowl; stir to combine.

  2. Massage rosemary sprigs to release fragrant oils. Put rosemary in a large resealable plastic bag; pour in buttermilk mixture. Add chicken parts to the bag, seal carefully, and place in refrigerator. Marinate, turning the bag occasionally, 4 hours to overnight.

  3. Preheat grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.

  4. Transfer chicken to a plate; discard marinade. Grill chicken until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, turning a few times, 20 to 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
