Melt 250g of the butter in a small pan over a medium heat. When it’s foaming and melted (don’t let it brown) take it off the heat, pour it into a glass jug and leave to cool.
02.Spoon off the white foam on the top of the cooled butter and gently pour the golden liquid into a medium pan,leaving the milky solids in the jug.
Add the bay leaf, thyme, chicken, lemon zest, cayenne and nutmeg, then warm gently for 2-3 minutes, stirring to combine. Take off the heat and add half the lemon juice and the parsley, then taste and season well. Remove the bay leaf and thyme sprigs but strip off a few thyme leaves into the mix. Divide among 4 small pots or Kilner jars, pressing down lightly.
Melt the remaining 100g butter as in step 1, then spoon off the foam and gently pour it in a thin layer on top of the chicken pots to cover. Again leave the milky solids behind.
Chill for 1 hour or up to 3 days. Bring up to room temperature to serve, or heat gently in an oven at 160°C for 2-3 minutes until spreadable.
