Are you a seeking the secret to sensationally moist and juicy Chicken? Search no further, your quest is complete—it’s Buttermilk! This cultured dairy product makes a magnificent marinade, as the acidity in the Buttermilk will tenderize the chicken, allowing it to retain more of its juices when cooking. But this marinade’s magic isn’t instantaneous—it’s best to let the Chicken marinate for an extended period of time to thoroughly season the chicken outside-in.

What about dinner tonight, you ask? Perhaps, your taste buds have been tantalized by the sound of such terrifically tender Chicken that your mouth is watering now. Well, you’re in luck—the wizards behind Trader Joe’s Buttermilk Brined Half Chicken make that dinner-tonight dream a reality. This Chicken comes already marinated in a brine of Buttermilk, salt, vinegar powder, and rosemary extract and is ready to be cooked straight from the package. Terrific for serving two people, this Half Chicken is our first offering of this size—try sprinkling it with TJ’s Ranch Seasoning Blend, then roasting in the oven with potatoes, or on the grill, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Serve alongside our Broccoli & Kale Slaw with a glass of Organic Tea & Lemonade for your next al fresco meal.
