Equipment

  • Barbecue (or a griddle pan)
  • large bowl (for marinade)
  • Chopping board (for butterflying the chicken)
  • a pair of tongs or metal spatula (to turn the chicken on the grill)

Ingredients
  

  • 2 large chicken supreme pieces (around 700-800 g or 4 smaller pieces)
  • 3-4 tbsp buttermilk
  • 2 tbsp olive oil (I use extra virgin)
  • 2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic granules (or 2 freshly grated garlic cloves)
  • 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 tsp black pepper

Instructions
 

Prepare the chicken supreme pieces

  • Pat the chicken pieces dry with kitchen paper.
  • On a chopping board, lay the chicken pieces skin side down and carefully run a sharp knife to butterfly the breast, scoring gently to allow the marinade to penetrate the chicken breast nicely.
  • Make a slit or two in the wingette too. Watch the video to see how!

Marinate the chicken supreme

  • Ina large bowl, combine buttermilk, olive oil, smoked paprika, Italian seasoning,garlic, black pepper and salt.
  • Add the chicken breasts and cover the bowl.
  • Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight to allow the flavors to infuse. You can marinate it ahead and keep in the fridge for up to 2 days.

Grill the chicken

  • Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. There should not be excess marinade with this recipe, so no need to allow excess to drip off.
  • Grill the chicken for 6-8 minutes per side or until it's nice and golden and the skin is a little crispy. Use the tongs or a spatula to turn it.

Serve!

  • Take the chicken out on a platter and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

If you are not confident about butterflying, just score a few lines half way through the thickest part of the breast to help it cook evenly.
Prepare the sides or salad first because the chicken cooks so fast and you would want to serve this fresh off the grill!
