What a wonderful twist on an old favorite!! I used your recipe for Pecan Honey Butter, and followed the recipe exactly as written. Being the twit I am, of course, my butter leaked out...but no fear! I simply cut the chicken in half, and placed a lump of chilled butter in the middle, squished it back together to let it melt, and enjoyed this recipe to it's fullest!! Very much a keeper, and next time, I will use bigger pieces of chicken that more readily form a leak-proof packet. I also need to buy some butcher's twine...regular sewing thread is a pain in the rear to remove after frying! (I realized I had no twine too late in the preparation of dinner to go buy some)--even with all my screw ups, this was a delicious, wonderful recipe that I look forward to having again...Thank you so much !!
