 Marinating chicken Can you marinate chicken in regular 2% milk instead of buttermilk and get about the same results?      |

 Not entirely. Buttermilk is acidic, and acts on the chicken to tenderize it, as well as giving it flavor. So while some other milk might help flour adhere to the chicken, you won't get that little bit of tenderization, and you won't get that little extra flavor. If you don't have buttermilk, but want the effects and flavor of the acid, you might try adding a little lemon juice. It will curdle the 2% milk and make it look horrible, but it will add flavor. I've actually done that using rice milk -- of course, it didn't curdle, but the chicken picked up some of the lemonyness.
