1. To begin preparing roast, in a small bowl, mix to combine softened butter and hot
sauce. Set aside 3 tablespoons of the mixture, then coat roast with remaining buffalo
butter. Place coated roast in a bowl, cover, and refrigerate for a minimum of 2 hours or

any buffalo butter left in the pan, and return to air fryer. Cook for 8-10 minutes or until
the outside is crisp.
