Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. In a large bowl, whisk together buttermilk, vegetable oil, crushed garlic, salt, black pepper, chopped rosemary, and honey until smooth. Divide the chicken breast halves into two ziplock bags, pouring the marinade over them to coat thoroughly. Seal the bags and refrigerate for at least 12 hours or up to 48 hours.
  2. Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C). Gather your baking supplies and a baking pan lined with foil.
  3. Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. Place the chicken on a clean cutting board.
  4. Line your prepared baking pan with foil and arrange the chicken in a single layer, skin-side up. Drizzle remaining oil over the chicken.
  5. Roast the chicken for about 45 minutes until golden-brown, with an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Turn off the oven and let the chicken sit inside for an additional 7–10 minutes.
  6. Carefully remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest on a board for 7–10 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
