cornish game hens basted with a compound butter
(2 ratings)
GW had a rotissire when I moved in with him and didn't know quite what to make of it, so decided to give it a try. Everything comes out so pefect! We are talking crispy skin, tender and juicy on the inside. Basically a compound butter is butter with something else added in it. Fresh herbs are the bomb bc you cannot over do them. Here's my spin on this. I think if you don't have one of these you could easily just bake in the oven and baste with your butter and results would also be delish.
