Does marinating chicken in buttermilk make it more tender?

Marinate the chicken for a long time—Do a 24-hour brine, and do it with full-fat buttermilk. Buttermilk is KEY to making a soft, tender chicken. The acidity of the buttermilk helps to break down protein structures in the chicken, meaning after 24 hours it becomes way less chewy and retains better moisture.

Can chicken marinate in buttermilk too long?

When you're using a probiotic type of marinade like buttermilk or yogurt, letting your chicken soak in it overnight is ideal. ... If you go much longer than that then you might end up with a tough chicken instead of a tender one. Most of the time you'll be using an acidic marinade.

Why does buttermilk make chicken tender?

Because buttermilk is only slightly acidic, it is capable of tenderizing chicken without toughening up the meat like stronger marinating acids do (lemon and vinegar, among others). The enzymes present in buttermilk also help in breaking down the protein in the chicken, resulting in tender, flavorful fried chicken.
