S&G as a butter compound?

[Company2BBQ]

I'm considering making a butter compound out of Simon & Garfunkle and putting it under the skin and over a turkey this weekend and cooking in my PBC. anyone tried this with the S&G? What was the out come?

Yes, works great!

I have never made a compound, per se, but I always put S&G and butter under the skin. I usually get great results. I have thought about just using oil or duck fat because the butter does contain moisture that can make the skin a bit rubbery.

Please let me know how you go about this. I would like to see your results.

Use clarified butter.

Good call. Never got around to it. I will on the next chicken cook! Thanks. Powersmoke_80

I am going to give David Parrish credit for that idea as he told me to do that when I could not get a sear when putting butter on a frozen steak. He stated that there was too much water in it. Just makes sense to do it for the same reason on chicken. P.S. He is a very smart fella!
