Buttermilk Brined Chicken With Maple Glaze Recipe
Thanksgiving was just last week (for us Canadians) however; this Buttermilk Brined Chicken With Maple Glaze will leave you loving poultry once more. Even if you stuffed your face with turkey-based leftovers all week. The acidic buttermilk brine will help to tenderize the meat filling it with flavor, while the sweet maple glaze caramelizes on the outside further deepening the flavor imparted by the brine. Word to the wise though; use a topper like the Napoleon PRO Stainless Steel Topper to prevent your food from sticking and making a mess when you start glazing.

12 to 16
bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs, legs,
or 8 chicken breasts
2 cups buttermilk
2 green onions chopped
2 cloves garlic grated
½ tsp. pepper
¼ tsp. cinnamon
½ tsp. crushed hot pepper flakes
3 tsp. salt
¼ cup maple syrup
1 clove garlic, grated
- Combine the brine ingredients in a large bowl. Whisk together the buttermilk, green onion, garlic, pepper, cinnamon, chili flakes, and salt. Submerge the chicken parts, cover and refrigerate until you are ready to grill - two hours minimum, up to six or eight hours. Try and use chicken parts that are similar in size for uniform cooking.
- When ready to cook, preheat the grill to about 450°F, preparing for direct heat. Remove the chicken from the brine and discard any brine that remains.
- In a small bowl, combine the maple syrup and 1 clove of grated garlic.
- Thoroughly oil the grids using avocado or coconut oil and then grill the chicken, skin side down, using direct heat until delicious grill marks form on the chicken skin. Turn the heat down to around 350°F, flip the chicken, and continue cooking.
- Glaze the chicken with the maple syrup mixture a couple of times while the chicken continues to cook. Keep glazing until the chicken is glossy and has reached an internal temperature of 165°F.
- Serve with your favorite side dishes or roasted seasonal vegetables.

Maple Garlic Chicken is delicious. Super garlicky, sweet, and sticky. It goes great with just about anything you can think of to serve with it. A fresh salad with a tart and vinegary dressing pairs well, so do roasted potatoes, all salty and crisp.
Nothing says summer fun like spicy, smoky, grilled meat on a stick. These Thai Grilled Chicken Skewers also known as Gai Yang. Served with fluffy coconut rice, and a light Thai cucumber salad, this meal is perfect for dining al fresco while sipping a cool beverage.
Have you ever tried Chicken and Waffles? They are so amazing, salty and sweet, the epitome of comfort food. When I first made this recipe in the summer of 2015, I went out and purchased an electric waffle iron. I was excited to have the ability to make waffles whenever I wanted.
