Sometimes the single picture is worth the thousand words. Just look at this reddish bronzed skin! The BF often tells me that he loves the simplest roasted chicken dishes, and this one couldn't be easier. Adapted from Samin Nosrat's Salt Fat Acid Heat, this recipe encompasses two whole ingredients. Three, if you count salt. Genius.
The buttermilk and salt work like a brine, tenderizing the meat to yield an unbelievably juicy chicken with crispy, gorgeously intense-colored skin. Be sure to leave 24 hours for marinating. I streamlined the recipe a bit, as well as decreased the amount of salt in the marinade. One of the best things about roast chicken is that you can serve it with anything. Try it with these side dishes:

I can do that...I'm sure of it! Not so much the leg tying or wing tucking, but marinate and roast!

Do it!! You won’t be sorry! You will have several dinners out of it. Try tacos the second day and chicken salad the third day or over quinoa or greens..or whatever......top your salad with the chicken and have for lunch. Or do as DZ and just stand at the kitchen counter and nibble it plain.

Sounds delicious. I like the part about 3 ingredients. And it is so beautiful. Right now there are greens and greens and more greens to complement the chicken. Love to you all.

3 ingredients is very appealing....I must learn to plan ahead, if only 24 hours ahead!

Oh, Jacquie, this looks so delicious. Reminds me of my grandmother from Austria. She made a lot of dishes with buttermilk, especially cakes. I has become hot now in Arizona, so it is nice to cook one dish and have several meals all ready prepared.

Sandra- Thank you so much! I hear you, when it's hot, I do as much prepping as possible so I don't have to cook too much for DZ or me during the week! Love you!
