Here I’ll show you how to make a Chicken Kyiv that’s super crispy on the outside with so much garlic butter pouring out of the centre!<\/strong><\/p>\n There have been too many times in my life when I’ve sliced into a Chicken Kyiv, only to realise all the garlic butter had already leaked out. As such, I made it my mission to create a Kyiv that is so full of garlic butter it’ll make you weak at the knees. I’ve formed a technique for creating the most incredible Chicken Kyiv, and I can’t wait to share it with you! Follow me…<\/p>\n You really don’t need many ingredients to make a Chicken Kyiv, and thankfully, you’ll find them all at the supermarket. Here’s why we’re using each ingredient:<\/em><\/p>\n Panko are great because they’re big and airy, meaning they crisp up really efficiently. You’ll find them in pretty much all supermarkets in the Asian section!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Making the garlic butter is as simple as combining the garlic, butter and parsley. From there, we’re actually going to mould it into a slab and freeze it. Freezing the filling serves two purposes:<\/strong><\/p>\n Process shots: add ingredients to bowl (photo 1), combine (photo 2), form a rectangle (photo 3), wrap in cling film and freeze (photo 4), slice into batons (photos 5&6).<\/em><\/p>\n Here’s what other recipes do:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n A lot of recipes suggest slicing the breast right down the side and opening it up to make room for the butter. I tried this, and every single time the butter leaked out. The gap is WAY too big and the butter will always find its way out.<\/p>\n Other recipes suggest slicing the breast open, pounding it thin, adding the butter in the centre and wrapping it up like a parcel. This actually works pretty well, but it means you have to freeze the chicken AND deep fry it. It’s also very risky, because if the chicken isn’t wrapped properly it’ll unfold in the oil (yes, nightmare).<\/p>\n Here’s what I do and why it works:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n The aim of the game is to get as much butter in the centre, with as little gap as possible. As such, I take a small, sharp knife and make a tunnel through the breast<\/strong>. From there, you can use the knife to make as much room in the centre of the breast and then slot in the frozen strips of butter. <\/p>\n Process shots: slice through the breast to make a tunnel (photos 7&8), slot in the butter (photo 9&10).<\/em><\/p>\n To close the small gap, just slice off some stray meat and plug it in and seal the gap. If you do slice through the chicken, you can do the same thing to cover up the gap and prevent the butter escaping.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Once you’ve stuffed the chicken, you simply need to coat it in flour, egg and Panko. From there, the cooking takes place in two stages:<\/em><\/p>\n I like to put the chicken on a wire rack above a foil-lined tray to bake<\/strong>. Not only does this help the hot air circulate around the chicken<\/strong>, but the tray also catches any butter that sneaks out<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Process shots: coat chicken in flour (photo 11), then egg (photo 12), then Panko (photo 13), add to hot oil (photo 14), fry both sides (photo 15), bake (photo 16).<\/em><\/p>\n Once the Kyiv is out of the oven, you’ll likely notice a little oil in the tray. This will most likely be excess from when you fried it, but it may be butter too. If there’s a lot, don’t panic. You can just drizzle it over the chicken at the end – it’s not the end of the world.<\/p>\n From there, here are some options for serving a Kyiv:<\/em><\/p>\n Alrighty, let’s tuck into the full recipe for this chicken Kyiv shall we?!<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n
