Crisp-Skin Roasted Chicken with Truffle Butter
Distinctively earthy and intensely fragrant black truffles season this golden-brown roasted chicken. Truffle butter rubbed under the skin infuses the meat with flavor, and more butter whisked into a pan sauce made with the drippings gives the sauce a luscious, velvety feel and indulgent taste.
