Granted, for breast instead of thigh, but that shouldn't have made much difference. The recipe talks about putting a tent over the breast if it's browning too quickly, but this literally didn't brown at all until I sprayed it. I'm kind of surprised; one of the ones I've used before puts butter on the skin, and that browns just fine, so I'd have thought the butterfat content of the buttermilk would help it along, but no.
