How to Make Chipotle Garlic Butter

Combine 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened, 2 cloves garlic, minced, 1-2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, finely minced (adjust to your spice preference), 1 tablespoon adobo sauce, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper in a food processor or blender.
Process until completely smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.
Transfer the chipotle garlic butter to a covered container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. This will also firm it up for easier spreading.
Once chilled, generously spread the butter over your favorite grilled meats, poultry, or vegetables. Enjoy!
