This butter is the perfect accessory for vegetables, poultry, steak and fish. It’s an easy way to make a sauce and add a lot of flavor to many dishes. This is my favorite compound butter to use when I roast chicken or turkey. I just rub the softened butter under the skin of the bird and it bastes the meat while roasting. The meat comes out flavorful and juicy.
