Love a buttermilk brine for chicken!! Yours looks tasty!

The standard brine we used has a decent amount of brown sugar and Old Bay. Recently replaced the oOld Bay with some Death Dust...that was some good eats, for sure!!

Looks great Ross.....as usual!

I always use a buttermilk drench when frying chicken. Gotta try this for the grill.
BTW... would a plate setter eliminate that hot side of the BGE?

JMSetzler · 10-09-2011, 10:34 PM

Yes, it does with mine. I do chicken the same, but with a plate setter in. At the end I take it out, WITH REALLY THICK GLOVES, and go to 450ish to finish if anyone likes some of the crispy char.

The buttermilk is a great idea. I have done it with fried chicken too, but not on the grill.
