A simple marinade for chicken (adapted from Nigella Lawson's Buttermilk Roast Chicken):

Into a plastic bag pour 300ml buttermilk with 30ml olive oil, 2 crushed cloves of garlic, a big pinch of salt, lots of ground pepper, 1 teaspoon of ground cumin and 1 tablespoon of maple syrup. Add approximately 500g of chicken - breasts, thighs or drumsticks - and massage gently. Leave overnight or for a few hours in the fridge, or for an hour or so at room temperature just before cooking. Shake of excess marinade, drizzle with a little extra oil and roast in a hot oven. Serve with coleslaw and a new potato salad.
