No. But u can take whole milk and add some lemon juice or vinegar and let it sit for 5 minutes and it will be almost exactly the same.

Not really. Buttermilk imparts a certain flavor and has some characteristics which break down the chicken and make it tender.

The whole idea of marinating it in the buttermilk is that it gives the chicken a little tangy flavor and helps keep it really moist. You can use whole milk, but it won’t have the same effect as the buttermilk.

Use anything acidic.
It’s not the sour flavor as so many seem to believe but the acid that denatures the protein.

If a recipe calls for buttermilk or cultured milk, you can make sour milk as a substitute. For each cup you need, take one tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice, then add enough milk to make one cup. Don’t stir. Let it stand for five minutes before using.

I would say no because buttermilk is thicker and a little bit sour, and also coats the chicken much better. Whole milk is not thick enough, in my opinion, to properly coat the chicken…

the butter milk is a tad sour in taste and that is what helps tenderize the chicken while it soaks. if u don’t have the butter milk u can easily make sour milk bye using some lemon juice or vinegar in the whole milk and allow it to sour.
