Excalibutter - Draw the legendary spice blend out to baste your big birds

Excalibutter: The Enchanted All-Purpose Seasoning of Legends

Born not of fire, but of ancient enchantment, Excalibutter is a legendary seasoning blend crafted in the mystical kitchens of Camelot. It is said that Merlin himself, master of arcane arts and architect of Arthur’s destiny, forged this golden blend with the same precision he used to shape prophecies and summon miracles.

At its heart lies a harmonious combination of butter, paprika, onion, sage, chives, mustard, cayenne, cumin, coriander, and pepper—each ingredient hand-selected and enchanted to balance warmth, richness, and savoury depth. When united, they create a seasoning worthy of the Once and Future King.

Sprinkled over poultry, scattered across one-tray feasts, or dusted onto potatoes and vegetables to baste in their own noble juices, Excalibutter transforms humble ingredients into heroic feasts. Its flavour lingers like an ancient charm, whispering tales of quests, crowns, and enchanted forests.

Perfect for roasted chicken, traybakes, and hearty suppers, Excalibutter is best applied generously, allowing the enchanted blend to permeate every morsel. Its buttery warmth and aromatic herbs create a majestic crust while enhancing the natural flavours of your dish—making every bite worthy of Camelot’s highest table.

Knight’s Feast Ritual: The Excalibutter Cooking Guide

1. Prepare the Poultry

• Clean and Pat Dry: Ready your bird as a knight prepares his armour.
• Apply Binder (Optional): A touch of oil or butter helps Excalibutter cling like a sacred enchantment.
• Season Generously: Coat every surface with Excalibutter, ensuring no corner escapes Merlin’s magic.
• Rest: Allow the seasoned poultry to rest—at least an hour, or overnight for deeper flavour.

2. Prepare the Tray of Destiny

• Choose Your Vegetables: Potatoes, carrots, onions, or root veg worthy of Camelot.
• Scatter and Season: Toss with a drizzle of oil and a noble dusting of Excalibutter.
• Create the Bed: Place the vegetables in a single layer to catch the royal juices from above.

3. Roasting Process

• Set the Oven: Preheat to 180–200°C (350–400°F)—a warm hearth worthy of Arthur’s hall.
• Crown the Tray: Place your seasoned poultry atop the vegetable bed, allowing its juices to flow downward like a blessing.
• Baste Regularly: Every so often, spoon the buttery juices over the meat and vegetables to deepen the enchantment.

4. The Knight’s Shield (Optional)

• Cover with Foil: If your feast begins to colour too quickly, shield it with foil as a knight shields himself in battle.

5. Resting

• Let the Magic Settle: After roasting, allow the dish to rest. This ensures the juices redistribute—leaving the meat tender and noble.

6. Carving & Serving

• Slice with Honour: Carve the poultry cleanly and confidently, as Arthur drew Excalibur from the stone.
• Serve with Enchanted Vegetables: The roasted potatoes and veg, infused with buttery magic, complete the feast.
