Chicken:

• 190g chicken breasts, skinless and boneless
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp pepper
• 1 egg, lightly whisked
• 60g plain flour
• 60g panko breadcrumbs
• Oil for frying, about 1 litre canola or vegetable oil

How To Make Chicken Kiev Recipe?

1. Make Garlic Butter: Mix softened butter, garlic, parsley, and salt. Shape into a log, wrap, and chill until firm.
2. Prepare Chicken: Pound chicken breasts to 0.5 cm (0.2 inches) thickness. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
3. Stuff and Roll: Place chilled butter in the center of the chicken. Fold edges over and roll tightly into a log shape. Wrap in cling film and freeze for 30 minutes to firm up.
4. Coat the Chicken: Set up three bowls: flour, beaten egg, and breadcrumbs. Dip the chicken rolls in flour, then egg, and finally breadcrumbs. Freeze again for 30 minutes to hold the shape.
5. Fry the Chicken: Heat oil to 190°C (375°F). Fry the chicken until golden on all sides (about 2–3 minutes).
6. Bake to Finish: Transfer fried chicken to a baking rack and bake at 180°C (350°F) for 15 minutes or until cooked through.
7. Rest and Serve: Let rest for 2 minutes, garnish with parsley, and serve.

Recipe Tips:

• Make the Butter Firm: Chill the garlic butter so it doesn’t melt and leak when cooking.
• Flatten the Chicken Evenly: Pound the chicken to the same thickness for even cooking and easy rolling.
• Seal It Well: Wrap the chicken tightly and make sure no butter can leak out.
• Use Clean Oil: Fresh oil gives your chicken a crispy and tasty coating.

How To Store & Reheat Leftovers?

• Refrigerate: Cool the Chicken Kiev to room temperature first. Then, store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
• Freeze: Let the Chicken Kiev cool completely. Wrap it tightly in cling film or foil, then put it in a freezer-safe bag or box. Freeze for up to 3 months.
• Reheat: Preheat the air fryer to 180°C (350°F). Place the Chicken Kiev in the basket and reheat for 5-7 minutes until hot and crisp.
