Allow the butter to melt and mix the contents of the pot. Place the chunks of chicken into the butter carefully, as to ensure no butter spatters onto you...
Just like every year, here's the deal: Some people (I'm sure you know at least one) are difficult when it comes to gifting. So to make it easy on you, I find random, nifty things that I think would make cool gifts and I share them with you. Buy one for yourself, buy one for a friend, buy one for a lover, buy none. I don't get any money from sharing these with you, I just think these things are cool and unique. Sound good? Ok, so: My wife got me this a few years ago and it is one my favorite additions to my library. It makes it MY library. Cotton Candy, FO DAYZZZZZ . Yep, that's it.
