What's the best way to cut up bone-in chicken?

I always use my handy kitchen shears, which are perfect for cutting through anything from chicken to lobster shells.

Can I use dried rosemary?

Technically yes - you'll want several tablespoons of it - but I promise it is SO worth getting the fresh stuff, which you can usually find right in the handy produce section of your supermarket.

Won't this taste Very Garlicky with all that garlic?

After marinating in buttermilk for all that time, the garlic is going to mellow out and add just the right amount of garlic flavor.

Instructions

Stir the buttermilk, garlic, paprika, salt and pepper together in a mixing bowl.
Place the chicken in a zippered plastic bag and pour the buttermilk mixture into it. Now take the rosemary and roll it between the palms of your hands (this releases the oils) and drop it into the bag. Seal up the bag and let it marinate in the refrigerator, turning the bags occasionally, for at least 4 hours and up to overnight.
Heat grill to medium high. Remove the chicken from the marinade (throw the marinade out) and grill until cooked through, about 20 to 30 minutes. The temperature should be at 165 if you are using a thermometer which I always recommend! Turn the chicken over a few times as you grill. This chicken is terrific hot off the grill or chilled!
