FRESNO, Calif. (FOX26) —

Our Cooking with Kopi & Elaine segments was our way of keeping Kopi on TV while he was sheltering-at-home.

The segments were so well-received that we decided to have them whip up more goodies for you to try at home.

Keep watching Great Day and check the What's For Dinner? webpage for more recipes.

If you try making this recipe send Kopi a picture or video at KOPI@KMPH.com.

Buttermilk Grilled Chicken

(Adapted from She Wears Many Hats)

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups buttermilk
• 1 TBL dried Italian seasoning
• 1 TBL garlic powder
• 2 teaspoons kosher salt
• 2 dried bay leaves
• 3 pounds bone-in chicken pieces

Directions:

1. In a 4-cup measuring cup or small bowl, whisk together buttermilk, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and salt.
2. Place chicken pieces into a 1-gallon re-closable plastic bag. Pour buttermilk mixture and the bay leaves into the bag and seal the bag.
3. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight, turning occasionally. (It’s better if you marinate overnight!)
4. Remove chicken from the refrigerator 30 minutes before grilling.
5. Heat grill to medium-low. Place marinated chicken on the grill, (discard extra marinade) cover and cook, turning occasionally, until golden brown and cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees, about 30-40 minutes.
6. OR, bake in a 450-degree oven for about 30 minutes.
