My other bird tip, which some think is madness, is to put an herbed mayonnaise under the skin. It does a lot of the same things as butter, but adds a wonderful herb and seasoning component along with a touch of acid for great balance and is non-dairy (important for me). I find making a mayo for this purpose easier than making a compound butter as well.

Just call it an herb aioli, everyone will think you’re fancy instead of crazy.
Ooooo, I did this one with butter under the skin, but the herby mayo sounds amazing! I’ll have to give it a try next time
