Crock Pot Buttermilk Chicken
I remember eating a smothered buttermilk chicken at my Grandmothers when I was a young girl,it was so tender you could cut it with a fork, and the flavor was amazing. I was to young to think to write the recipe down, but I do recall her mixing some vegetables together with fresh buttermilk and pouring it over the chicken. It would be in the oven of a wood burning stove for hours, then finally she would take it from the oven and bring it to the table, it was delicious! This is an attempt to make my Grandmothers recipe that none of the family recorded, and to all my daughters and Granddaughters now we have one right here.

That looks like a plate of comfort. Food memories are the best, especially if they bring you back to grandma's kitchen!
ReplyDeleteThis reminds me of your beef and potatoes in buttermilk, which my husband and I love! So, I'm looking forward to trying this.
ReplyDeleteI have marinated chicken in buttermilk overnight and it does make delicious tender chicken, I can't wait to try this recipe in the slow cooker Miz Helen, you have me drooling!
ReplyDeleteJenna
I cannot wait to make this. I love the idea of the tender chicken in a creamy sauce. Thanks for working on this recipe. We all wish we had written down old family favorites.

My goodness Miz Helen, this looks incredible! I can almost taste it from here!
ReplyDeleteThis looks so rich and delicious and belly warming! Thanks for sharing at the What's for Dinner party!
ReplyDeleteHello, wondering why you say to leave the chicken pieces skin on and coating them with flour when the skin and flour will result in chicken with soft/mushy skin having no crispiness at all due to being simmered for hours in a crockpot. Recipe itself would certainly be perfect for coating for home fried chicken, but having made multiple assorted chicken casseroles in oven or crockpot ( with skin removed ) for over 60 years, the instructions for this recipe are a bit baffling, hence my question.
ReplyDeleteThank you and a Happy 2020 to you and yours

Hi Joycelyn,
DeleteI appreciate your question as to why I leave the skin on the chicken and flour the chicken. The reason the recipe calls for that method is because it is not fried chicken but a smothered chicken and as you can see in the photo in is slow cooked in a buttermilk gravy and you are right it is soft and mushy so much so it can be cut with a fork. I do have another recipe on my blog that is https://www.mizhelenscountrycottage.com/2016/05/old-black-pot-buttermilk-chicken.html
The Old Black Pot Buttermilk Chicken is fried chicken and just delicious, however this recipe is more like a smothered chicken. Thanks so much for stopping by and enjoy the recipe!

Can I substitute a Turkey for the Chicken?
ReplyDeleteHello,
DeleteI have not tried the recipe with turkey, so will just give you a seasoned cook answer. I personally would not use this recipe for turkey. It would be very hard to pack a whole turkey into a crock pot, although you could use turkey pieces. I will be very interested in hearing how it turns out if you do decide to use it for turkey. Thanks for stopping by and hope you have a great day!
