Maybe you can help me. Every picture I see of the butter bath has the top side of the thigh out of the butter. When I've tried this the top skin was super leathery on the finished product, but the bottom skin was bite through. So the next time I flipped the chicken so most of the skin was down in the butter bath and the finished product had a nice bite through. What's going on here cause everyone post pics doing it the way you did but I can't get mine to work that way?
Just make sure you get plenty of the fake butter on the tops as you pour it in. Then make sure your pan is covered tightly for the second hour. Cook at a steady 275. The skin should be soft, tender and 'bite through'. Works every time for me.
