chicken & mac n cheese

i had leftover buttermilk from the dressing i made for the bomb party and i was able to find a recipe to use it. for dinner i made chicken, broccoli, macorroni and cheese. the recipe called for bone in chicken but i used boneless chicken breast and cut it into smaller pieces so it'd cook faster. i prepared the chicken sunday morning before i headed to church and let it set for nearly 10 hours.

buttermilk chicken
1 ½ cups buttermilk
8 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbls. paprika
1 ½ tsp. kosher salt
¾ tsp. black pepper
6lbs bone-in chicken
• in small bowl or measuring cup, combine the buttermilk, garlic, paprika, salt & pepper.
• divide the buttermilk mixture & chicken between 2 large resalable plastic bags. let marinate in the refrigerator, turning the bags occasionally, for at least 1 hour and up to overnight.
• heat grill to medium-low. remove the chicken from the marinade (discard the marinade) and grill, covered, turning occasionally, until cooked through, 30-40 minutes.

also, it said to cook on a grill but i cooked it on the stove in my grill pan and i liked the results just fine. i'm sure the flavor would've been a little better off the grill so next time i'll try it.
