KFC's Chicken Kiev

If you're curious about what the name "Chicken Kiev" refers to, the answer is simple: it's breaded and fried chicken that's stuffed with garlic butter that's melted. Completely traditional, completely uncomplicated but utterly stupendous, and quite possibly the finest application of chicken breasts ever.

The key to successfully preventing the melted butter from leaking out of the container is to: Putting the chicken through a partial freezing process in order to keep it firmly in place Indeed, it's as simple as that. "Bonus there is not an option to deep fry provided"

Things that are stuffed are excellent. Dumplings Profiteroles Samosas The excitement of slicing into something that, from the outside, appears to be so unremarkable and unremarkable in order to expose something that is devilishly good on the inside is comparable to the experience of opening a mouthwatering birthday present.

The Chicken Kiev is without a doubt the most regal of all the stuffed chicken dishes that can be found anywhere in the world. This exquisite Russian dish, which is characterized by its filling of butter and garlic, is absolutely incredible. When you cut through that crunchy, golden breadcrumb crust and into the juicy chicken flesh, a river of molten butter oozes from the meat across your plate. It is a moment of joy that few things in this world can rival, and it will stop your heart. In point of fact, I am completely unable to think of anything that fits the bill right now.

What should be included in a Chicken Kiev?

Stuffing made of garlic butter for a chicken kiev.

The following ingredients are required to make the garlic butter that is used to stuff the chicken kiev:

• Butter - Without a Doubt Softened and unsalted;

• Garlic that has been crushed or finely chopped using either a knife or a garlic crusher;

• Salt; and

• The parsley should be chopped very finely.

To make the chicken coated in bread crumbs, you will need the following ingredients:

• The chicken breast is the best cut to use for pounding into a large, flat "sheet" that will be used to roll the garlic butter;

• Panko breadcrumbs are superior to regular breadcrumbs because their pieces are slightly larger, resulting in a more satisfying crunch. Panko breadcrumbs are widely available.

• Breadcrumbs are able to adhere to the chicken thanks to the flour and eggs, which act as binding agents.

The recipe for the Chicken Kiev

The answer to that question is as simple as it gets:

1. Chicken breasts that have been pounded should be rolled up with garlic butter inside;

2. Fried breaded chicken;

3. Fry; then

4. To complete the meal, bake it.

Do you need to use a deep fryer? For a true Kiev experience, yes you do However, for the very best fully baked no-fry option using a tried-and-true breadcrumb toasting method, see Note 6 on the recipe card. This method is used in the preparation of these Chicken Tenders.

Part 1 Stuffing made of garlic butter for a chicken kiev.

1. To make a smooth mixture, combine the softened butter with the salt, parsley, and garlic;

2. Spread butter in a 10 x 6 cm / 4 x 2 in. rectangle on a piece of parchment or baking paper. 3″ rectangle It is not necessary for it to be absolutely accurate; a rough estimate will do.

   After chilling the mixture until it is firm, cut it lengthwise into two pieces.

Part 2 Stuffing the Chicken Kiev with Ingredients

1. Pound the chicken by placing a chicken breast between two freezer bags (or, as I do, using "Go Between" freeze film), and then using a meat pounder, pound the chicken. Place the chicken so that the presentation side is facing down. This will ensure that the side remains neat and flat.

   Now, using a meat mallet (or rolling pin, can, truncheon, or any other tool of your choice), pound the chicken until it reaches a thickness of 0. 5cm / 0 2″ thick If everything went according to plan, you would end up with a nice rectangle. However, this world is far from perfect. Therefore, if you are anything like me, you will end up with scrappy bits and a wonky shape, and neither of those things is a problem at all.

   Just be careful not to rip the chicken while you're doing it. But even if you do, don't worry about it because we will fix it so that all of that delicious golden garlic butter stays inside.

2. Prepare the chicken breast by seasoning it with salt and pepper, then stuffing it. After that, place a stick of butter in the center of it;

3. To wrap something, fold the sides inward. After that, beginning at the shorter end, roll the chicken into a log (much like you would a burrito). );

4. Finish with the seam side down to ensure that it will not come apart;

5. Wrap in cling wrap and twist the ends together in order to make it into a log shape; and

6. Freeze the chicken for thirty minutes to make it partially firm, making it easier to handle when coating it with breadcrumbs and ensuring that it will remain sealed with less chance of butter leaking out.

Coating and cooking are covered in Part 3.

1. Flour: When the exterior of the chicken is fairly firm to the touch but is not completely frozen solid, remove the plastic wrap and roll the chicken in flour. Make sure that the ends are coated as well. The excess should then be shaken off;

2. Roll the meat in a lightly whisked egg, which comes next;

3. Crumbs - After that, roll in breadcrumbs and press down to ensure they stick;

4. Repeat the process of partially freezing the chicken by placing it back in the freezer for an additional half an hour. This will help the chicken's exterior become more firm. As was the case with the first round of partial freezing, this ensures that the chicken maintains its form and that the crumb coating chicken wrapping doesn't shift when the chicken is placed in the oil, thereby preserving the integrity of the seal that keeps the butter inside the chicken;

5. Fry the chicken until it is golden on the outside - The next step is to fry the chicken for just two to three minutes, until it is golden on the outside. It will be cooked through but the inside will still be raw, so we will finish it in the oven. Because of the shape of the Chicken Kiev, we are unable to completely cook it when we deep fry it because there is not enough time for the inside to become cooked through before the outside becomes overly browned.

   See the recipe's Note 6 for an alternative preparation method that does not involve deep frying (it involves toasting breadcrumbs in the oven, which is both easy and very effective). ); and

6. Finish the chicken in the oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 65 degrees Celsius (149 degrees Fahrenheit). When checking the temperature of the meat, be careful to only pierce the flesh halfway through with the tip of the meat thermometer. This will prevent you from creating a hole in the meat that will allow the butter to escape.

• Frying Chicken Kiev
• Baking Chicken Kiev

Out of the oven, the Kiev appears to be very reserved and unassuming. After that, however, you sliced into it. A little bit of butter begins to seep out here and there...

… As you continue cutting, the butter will turn into a torrent as you get closer to the center of the loaf. ↓↓↓

A self-saucing chicken dinner is one of the most satisfying food moments you'll ever experience. One of the most satisfying food moments you'll ever experience is when the butter runs out of the chicken and all over your plate.

It might be old-fashioned, but food that's this delicious will never go out of style, and there's a good reason for that.

Accompany this decadent chicken dish with a large leafy salad that has been tossed in a straightforward salad dressing. If you really want to go all out, you can do what I did and add a side of mini potato dauphinoise just like I did. If that isn't possible for you or you simply don't have the time, at the very least serve mashed potatoes or crusty bread on the side so that you have something to use as a vehicle for mopping up excess sauce.
