Buttermilk Herb Marinade

~Nimz~'s Note:

This is a great marinade to use on chicken or pork. The buttermilk has a tangy kick and it works well as a tenderizer. Just marinade for 1 to 4 hours and discard the marinade and cook.

~Nimz~ you have done it again! This is scrumptious on chicken & pork. I did add 3 cloves of minced garlic, as we bleed garlic in this house! Thank you so much for sharing!!!

Marinated cornish hens overnite with this lovely marinade. This was so perfect on the grill, the chik almost got up to run away, it was such huge hit. Once I got everyone to calm down, this produced a dramatically tender cornish hen, that was easily eaten up by all who graced the table...so tender, so juicy, there was nothing left but cleaned bones. Will use this often, thank you so much!

I really liked the taste of the chicken (I marinated for 7 hours) but it stuck to the grill and came out a bit on the soft side (not getting that firm crust on the outside that I love. If I were to make this again, I would use the oven or else add some oil to the marinade.
