For a richer flavor, toast the pecans lightly before chopping. Use high-quality bourbon for the best sauce flavor. Be careful not to burn the butter when making the sauce; low and slow is key. If you don't have clarified butter, you can use regular melted butter, but watch carefully to avoid burning. Serve with mashed potatoes or rice to soak up the delicious bourbon sauce.
