Grilled Chicken with Buttermilk

4 servings

25 minutes

Grilled chicken with buttermilk is a refined dish of Russian cuisine that combines tenderness and aroma. The buttermilk used in the marinade gives the chicken a special softness and a slight tang, while lemon juice and Dijon mustard enhance the depth of flavor. Historically, buttermilk was widely used in Russian cooking, especially in marinades, making meat juicier. The scent of fresh garlic and aromatic pepper harmoniously complements the chicken thighs, while grilling creates an appetizing crispy crust. The dish is perfect for summer picnics and friendly dinners, served with vegetables or light salads. Its simplicity in preparation and rich flavor make it a favorite among those who appreciate rich gastronomic experiences.
