With furious fervor and drama, March Madness is a fan's favorite time of year, and Grillsanity brings the feast to match straight from your grill.

The preparation is simple and can be started the day before. Get the marinade ready by combining buttermilk, garlic, paprika, salt, and pepper. Dairy products are excellent for marinating chicken because they are acidic and impart moisture throughout the tissue. Using resealable bags or airtight containers, marinate the chicken for at least an hour or overnight for better results. Allow the chicken to rise to room temperature, so all the pieces cook uniformly, and then grill over medium-low heat until ready. Finishing moist and tender with crispy skin, serve the chicken with your favorite sides or appetizers for a game day feast. The brackets and menu are set to finish this year’s tournament with a cornucopia of heart-wrenching struggle, rivalry, and elation – this is Grillsanity!
