Cornish game hens basted with a compound butter image

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...

Steps:

  • 4. Baste your birds generously with your compound butter and from time to time as they cook.
