Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups buttermilk
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1 whole chicken (3 1/2 pounds), cut into 10 pieces and skin removed, plus 1 bone-in, skin-on chicken breast (3/4 pound)
2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 English cucumber, halved and thinly sliced
1 shallot, halved and thinly sliced
2 celery stalks, thinly sliced, plus 1/4 cup celery leaves
2 teaspoons red-wine vinegar
Scallion Cornbread Muffins

Steps:

  • In a bowl, mix buttermilk, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Add 10 pieces from whole chicken; stir to coat. Marinate 30 minutes (or up to 8 hours).
  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees. In a food processor, pulse bread until fine crumbs form, 30 seconds. Transfer to a rimmed baking sheet; bake until golden brown, 7 minutes. Transfer breadcrumbs to a bowl and toss with 2 tablespoons oil.
  • Set a wire rack in baking sheet. Remove chicken from marinade, shaking off as much liquid as possible, and coat with breadcrumbs. Place on rack, along with nonbreaded chicken breast, and season all with salt and pepper. Bake until chicken is cooked through and golden brown, 45 to 50 minutes, rotating sheet halfway through (tent chicken with foil if overbrowning). Refrigerate extra breast for later use.
  • Meanwhile, in a bowl, combine cucumber, shallot, celery and leaves, vinegar, and 2 teaspoons oil; season with salt and pepper. Serve salad with buttermilk chicken and muffins.

Yield Makes 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 1/2 lemons
2 quarts buttermilk
4 garlic cloves, crushed
2 tablespoons kosher salt plus more
2 3 1/2- to 4-pound chickens
1 bunch fresh marjoram
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
Freshly ground black pepper
1 small shallot, finely chopped
1/2 cup olive oil
1/3 cup Champagne or white wine vinegar
1 loaf country-style bread or ciabatta, crust removed, torn into 1 1/2" pieces (about 8 cups)
2 bunches watercress, thick stems trimmed (about 8 cups)

Steps:

  • Thinly slice 1 lemon. Whisk buttermilk, garlic, and 2 tablespoons salt in a medium bowl. Divide buttermilk mixture and lemon slices between 2 large resealable plastic bags. Place 1 chicken in each bag and seal, pressing out any excess air. Refrigerate, turning occasionally, at least 8 hours and up to 1 day.
  • Preheat oven to 425°F. Remove chickens from marinade, rinse with cold water, and pat dry. Thinly slice half of a lemon; cut remaining whole lemon in half. Place chickens on a wire rack set inside a large rimmed baking sheet; stuff each with 1/2 bunch of marjoram and a lemon half. Working from neck end of chicken, gently loosen skin from chicken breasts. Place several lemon slices under skin of each breast. Rub chickens with butter; season with salt and pepper. Tie legs with kitchen twine and tuck wing tips under chicken.
  • Roast chickens until they begin to brown, 30-35 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F and roast until chickens are cooked through and a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh registers 165°F, 20-25 minutes longer. Transfer chickens to a platter, tent with foil, and let rest while preparing bread salad. Keep oven on.
  • Carefully pour chicken roasting juices from baking sheet into a large bowl (set baking sheet aside). Whisk shallot, oil, and vinegar into juices in bowl; season vinaigrette with salt and pepper.
  • Pour half of vinaigrette into a small bowl; set aside. Add bread to vinaigrette in large bowl and toss, pressing gently to help bread absorb vinaigrette.
  • Transfer bread to reserved baking sheet and toast, tossing occasionally, until bread is golden brown but still soft in the center, 10-15 minutes (set bowl aside).
  • Place warm bread in reserved bowl. Add watercress and reserved vinaigrette; season with salt and pepper and toss to combine. Arrange salad on a platter and place chickens on top.

Tips:

  • To make the buttermilk chicken extra crispy, double coat the chicken in the flour mixture and fry it in hot oil until golden brown.
  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
  • To make the cornbread, use a cast iron skillet for the best results. This will give the cornbread a crispy crust and a moist interior.
  • To make the cucumber-celery salad, use a mandoline slicer to thinly slice the cucumbers and celery. This will help the salad to be more crisp and refreshing.
  • If you don't have a mandoline slicer, you can use a sharp knife to thinly slice the cucumbers and celery.

Conclusion:

This meal is a delicious and easy-to-make Southern classic. The buttermilk chicken is crispy and flavorful, the cornbread is moist and fluffy, and the cucumber-celery salad is refreshing and tangy. This meal is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion.
