buttermilk marinade

Cultured dairy soak

A buttermilk marinade is a mixture using buttermilk as the base liquid for soaking meat before cooking.

The mild acidity tenderizes while the fats carry flavor from added seasonings.

Buttermilk marinades are traditional for fried chicken, where they also help breading adhere: Let the chicken soak in the buttermilk marinade overnight.
