- Place the chicken in a large shallow bowl, pour over the buttermilk, cover and leave to marinate in the fridge for 2 hours or overnight if time allows.

- Place the chicken on a baking tray and grill for 15-20 minutes, turning halfway through, or until golden on both sides and cooked through. Serve with a large green salad and roasted cherry tomatoes.
