DIRECTIONS

STEP 1

Melt the butter and chicken schmaltz together in a saucepan over low heat. Remove from the heat to cool slightly.

STEP 2

Add the egg yolks, lemon juice, sea salt, and black pepper to a blender. Blend on medium speed until smooth.

STEP 3

With the blender running on low, drizzle the warmed butter/schmaltz mix in through the top.  Once all the fat has been added, the sauce should begin to thicken. Turn the speed to medium-high briefly (5 seconds or so) to finish the sauce. Be careful not to over blend or the sauce may separate.

Notes:  This sauce is best made just before serving. If it becomes too thick from sitting in the blender, simply add a teaspoon of warm water and blend briefly to smooth out the sauce. Store extras in the refrigerator and do no heat when serving a second time. Instead, remove the container from the refrigerator and allow the sauce to come to room temperature, stirring occasionally until smooth.
