Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Spicy Grilled Buttermilk Chicken Marinade.
Step 1
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, chopped cilantro, lime juice, minced garlic, chipotle chili powder, ground coriander, and ground cumin until well combined.
Step 2
Pour the marinade into a 1-gallon resealable bag. Add the chicken breasts, seal the bag, and gently toss to ensure the chicken is evenly coated with the marinade.
Step 3
Refrigerate the marinated chicken for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.
Step 4
Preheat your outdoor grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grill grate to prevent sticking.
Step 5
Remove the chicken from the marinade, discarding any excess marinade. Place the chicken on the grill and cook for about 16 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.
