  • HOW TO MAKE CHICKEN KIEV
    Chicken kiev
  • First, remove fat & tenderloins from chicken fillet and pat dry.
  • Place chicken on the cutting board, cover with plastic or wax paper. Carefully pound the chicken breast with a meat mallet. You must get 0.5 cm / 0.2 “thick chicken breasts. Try not to tear chicken. Otherwise, later, sealed butter will ooze when you will fry Chicken Kiev. Peel off wax paper.
  • Coat the pound chicken breasts in chicken spice mix and let them marinate for 10-15 minutes.
  • Take the prepared garlic-herbs butter and cut into 4 equal pieces.
  • Place 1 piece of garlic-herbs butter in the centre of each chicken breast.
  • Roll into a log, seal from the edges & cover with plastic (make sure that chicken is tightly wrapped with plastic). Put Chicken Kiev in the freezer for 1 hour.
  • In a saucepan heat 2 cups vegetable oil.
  • Prepare 3 bowls: Corn Flour bowl, bread crumbs bowl & Egg bowl.
  • Remove chicken Kiev from the freezer, unwrap. Coat first in flour (it will absorb extra liquid) then dip each peace in slightly beaten eggs, and coat with bread crumbs.
  • Fry the Kievs for 3-4 minutes per side until golden & cooked.
  • You may have to do it in batches.
  • Transfer to a baking tray and bake 20 minutes more.
  • Serve with Mashed Potatoes or salad.
