Garlic Butter for Wings
Ingredients
- 1 cup softened unsalted butter
- 1 cup chopped fresh basil
- 6 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Instructions
In a medium bowl, cream together the butter, basil, garlic, pepper, onion powder, and cayenne. With a rubber spatula, place the mixture widthwise down the middle of a 12x8 inch sheet of tinfoil or wax paper, leaving about an inch free at either end. Roll the foil or paper up lengthwise to create a little cylinder of butter. Seal the ends of the cylinder and freeze for at least 1 hour before using. To use butter grill, bake or fry some chicken wings. Leave them plain or toss them with hot sauce in a bowl. Then slice a few slices of butter from the roll in your freezer and toss with the wings while they are still warm.
