The combination of tenderizing buttermilk and spice-balanced pickling starter transforms ordinary baked chicken into a juicy, flavor-packed main dish.



Buttermilk Chicken Breasts

Ingredients

  • 1 Tbsp Pickling Starter, crushed slightly with a mortar and pestle

Directions

  1. Stir together buttermilk, salt, and pickling blend.

  2. Add chicken breasts to a tightly sealing flat container or to a resealable silicone bag.
