Pecan Honey Butter Recipes

PECAN HONEY BUTTER

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spread pecans out on a baking sheet. Bake for aprx. 8 minutes or until the pecans are toasted nicely. They will burn pretty quickly so keep an eye on them and take out before they get too toasted. Set aside to cool.
• Once pecans are cooled. Mix butter and honey together. I just used a spatula to combine well (a mixer is not necessary). Fold in your pecans until completely incorporated.
• Store in your refrigerator for 1-2 weeks.

PECAN-HONEY BUTTER

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake pecans in a single layer until ligthly toasted and fragrant, stirring occasionally. This should take about 7 minutes. Use your nose to judge when they are done -- they shouldn't smell burned. Cool and finely chop the pecans. (You can make more toasted pecans than you need for this recipe. The toasted pecans can be used for lots of things!).
• Stir together 1/2 cup butter, softened; 1/2 cup chopped toasted pecans, and 2 tbsp honey.
• Store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, or freeze up to 1 month.

HONEY PECAN CHICKEN STRIPS

Steps:

• Place the chicken in a large bowl. Add the buttermilk and hot sauce, then toss to combine. Allow to marinate 15 to 30 minutes.
• In a separate bowl, combine the flour, pecans and seasoning salt. Mix well and set aside.
• Heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over a medium heat until it reaches 375 degrees F.
• Place a small pan over a low heat and add the honey and butter. Allow the honey to warm and the butter to melt.
• Meanwhile, remove the chicken from the buttermilk a few pieces at a time, then add to the flour/pecan mixture, turning to coat thoroughly. Place on a plate. Continue with the remaining chicken until it is all coated.
• Cook the chicken in the skillet in batches, flipping halfway through, until they are golden and crisp, about 4 minutes. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate.
• Add the chicken to a platter and drizzle over half of the honey butter. Garnish with the parsley. Serve with the remaining honey butter on the side for dipping.
