GARLIC SAUCES FOR CHICKEN RECIPES

Steps:

• Melt butter in saucepan over medium heat.
• Add garlic and saute until fragrant and slightly brown, but don't let it get overly browned or burnt.
• Add flour and whisk to combine (this makes a roux).
• Cook and whisk the roux for a minute or so. You want it blonde, not brown.
• Mix the bouillon powder, hot water, and milk.
• Pour all at once in a thin stream into the roux, whisking all the while to avoid lumps. Keep whisking! It may look lumpy but if you keep whisking it will smooth out.
• Bring to a bubble, and allow to bubble until thickened.
• Squeeze the wedge of lemon over top (watch for seeds!).
• Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
