I have chicken thighs in buttermilk right now and don't plan to use them for at least two days and then not all at once. It is acidic enough to subdue nasty bugs . unused buttermilk can be used for pancakes ,biscuits -or taken orally -it is good for you , it is sour like real yogurt ( not like commercial yogurt/pudding ) not rotten , like yogurt the shelf life is long because the lactose has been converted. You won't like to read this but in hot sub sahara countries fresh milk is made into a burrermilk like liquid , the milk women simply spit into a batch of fresh milk and wait . fresh milk would rot very quickly. gage

i love buttermilk to drink. sometimes that is all i buy it for. when my dad was alive, we would have a snack together of buttermilk, blue cheese and crackers.

I remember reading somewhere that you can substitute buttermilk with regular milk mixed with vinegar. does that give you an idea as to the taste?

My advice, just try it. Take a little sip. Try a second sip, because you never get the full flavor on the first try.

I remember trying it in a home ec. class years ago and not liking it, but everyone's tastes are different.

kitchenelf, that teriyaki/pineapple thing sounds like it would give the chicken a flavor that would just be out of this world.
