I made it once with pareve almond milk in my air fryer. It came out amazinggg.
I think this is the recipe I used. I assume it won't come out as great when it's baked, but either way it gets so juicy when it marinates the almond milk.

Buttermilk is used in chicken recipes because it tenderizes their chicken and gives it a bit of a tang but it isn’t a critical ingredient for a delicious result. It also makes the meat a bit more juicy but dark mewt is already very juicy.

What is your specific question in terms of achieving the best result. For oven baking with a crust, I use a wired grid to elevate the food so that air circulates top and bottom for crispiest all over results.

Are you looking for the flavors in the crust. I have some copycat recipes for that taste and I could post

ETA I see someone has suggested using almond milk. You could probably replicate buttermilk’s impact by adding lemon juice or cider vinegar to the milk althiugh I don’t know if it would curdle but you wouid still have the slightly acidic aspect of buttermilk which tenderizes and flavors the chicken like brining does. Kosher chicken is already effectively brined so you don’t brine kosher chicken.
