Almost forgot chopstix!!! Soak your chicken pieces in buttermilk, nothing else, for 2 days prior to cooking - cook at the end of the second day. Also try this with boneless, skinless breasts - AMAZINGLY plumb and tender!!!! You could also put some rosemary sprigs in there with the buttermilk too. I mean it's amazing how they turn out. I've never done it with bone in but I can't see where it would hurt.
