Oh its carrots!

I did not grow up watching the Super Bowl. The closest thing my home state of Mississippi has to a professional football team is the Saints, but my dad and grandfather were far too busy cussing at the TV while watching Mississippi State lose to pay attention to any of that. Besides, the Super Bowl always falls on a Sunday—the Lord’s day—and it’s hard to watch a game while you’re in church.
Church Sunday and Super Bowl Sunday feel at odds on at least three levels: spiritually, aesthetically, and culinarily. Shouting obscenities at the TV while watching men give each other possible brain damage does not feel very Christian, and a greasy spread of wings, nachos, and chili dogs doesn’t quite fit the wholesome, nurturing feel of an after-church supper.
That’s what makes this whole Buffalo roasted chicken true fusion cuisine—it’s a fusion of vibes. Churchly roasted chicken meets profane Buffalo wings in this recipe, and the results are delicious.
It all begins with a brine. The combination of buttermilk and Frank’s hot sauce flavors and tenderizes the chicken while keeping it moist. My love for dairy-based brines has been well-documented, but if this is your first time working with one, you should be excited.

There are multiple benefits to using cultured dairy, such as buttermilk or labneh, to marinate a bird. The acid in the buttermilk or yogurt tenderizes the meat, while the proteins promote browning on the skin. Dairy-brined birds are also the most forgiving birds I’ve ever roasted—I’ve cooked several of them to over 160℉ (both by accident and to see what would happen), and the breast meat has come out juicy and tender every time, thanks to the abundance of moisture, acid, and fat.
The inclusion of Frank’s hot sauce is (obviously) what gives this bird a Super Bowl sheen. The tangy, spicy sauce lightly flavors the meat, eliminating the need for additional seasoning. The most obvious benefit is a whole hen’s worth of Buffalo flavored skin, which I recommend you eat as quickly as possible.
Sounds pretty yummy.
It does.
Looks good. As usual, I’ll be ignoring the football game. Maybe I’ll re-arrange my shed.
Looks great. Why does my husband have to be allergic to nightshades? Gotta skip the Franks hot sauce.
Major bummer!
As if anyone would watch the Super Bowl.
certainly not you! you are woke to the wokesters! :)

Millions will. Some 92 million probably. Would anyone be surprised to learn that of the top 20 most watched shows on TV in 2021, 17 were Football Games. The NFL held 39 of the top 100 most watched telecast of last year. Imagine that!

That sounds pretty good.
I’ve been on a Hainanese chicken kick.
sounds good to me, I always marinate my fried chicken and fish in buttermilk.
Yes... shark, frog legs, pancakes, banana bread, biscuits... why it’s almost like shrimp. :)
I even take a little hooch of buttermilk if it’s not the reduced fat type.
My mom would drink buttermilk and that’s how I deveoloped a taste for it.
She always told me ‘if I were eating a bowl of s*** you would want a taste’.
I don’t think I’m THAT bad but she had a point.
