Thaw overnight in the refrigerator.  Remove meat from marinade and discard marinade.  Grill or cook meat as desired.

Stephanie’s Comments:

I'll never forget the look on the cashier's face when I got to the counter with 9 tubes of anchovy paste!  I know anchovy paste sounds pretty awful, but it adds depth and richness to this recipe. Think of your favorite Caesar salad... you could leave it out, but it just wouldn't be the same!  Why not make one batch and test it?  The buttermilk in this recipe tenderizes the chicken.  Grill up a few extra chicken breasts, slice them and freeze in 1 C. portions- perfect for pulling out a delicious Caesar chicken salad!
