Chicken kiev

[Whatevernext1]

Very lighthearted!

I've just had chicken kiev for dinner and have been left very disappointed!
It got me thinking surely I can't be the only person who finds this annoying!
Yet again,hardly ANY garlic butter 😲 why is this?! I've tried from pretty much everywhere and am yet to find one that oozes with the yummy garlic butter like they do on the packaging! I feel very deceived 🤣
Has anybody else noticed this first world problem?!

YABU - stop being so greedy and enjoy you dry chicken kiev

YANBU - start a petition to get those kievs filled and oozing with the yummy garlicky goodness they deserve!

Oh god another fan of the mini kievs here! I keep buying them for DS but he isn't actually that keen. Somehow they end up in the trolley anyway....

I cook them upside down in a little foil dish (I keep ones that pies come in).

I cook them upside down as well

Leaving them in the oven won't help, especially if you take a while to serve up. They'll essentially still be cooking for all that time.

Booths are the best gavel

I can't have chicken kievs due to low carbing, but you have me dreaming of them now OP 🤤

Out of interest, how many kievs would you have per person? I feel like one is the acceptable number but my stomach argues that two is the right number. This might explain the need for the low carbing 😩

Genius, pussycat !

I had tesco steak and fat chips from their 'dine in deal' there was a pat of garlic butter, and drizzling it on the chips rather than the steak made them taste amazing.

The cheapest ones are ALWAYS the best.

Just remembers have some in the freezer that dinner tonight 😁

I love chicken Kiev. I prefer the ones made with breast of chicken but the ones that are made with god knows what are also delicious

I pour a little of the oil that comes out when cooking over the mash

Sainsbury's posh range, lovely.

M&S are amazing but they don't use free range chicken and so I don't eat them any more and now I really really want one!!

That’s dinner on

With ready made mash and spinach mixed with a little cream and horseradish sauce

I’m suddenly weak with hunger (not eaten for about 42 minutes)

Not quite a Kiev, but I wrap mine in parma ham instead of pannéing - great for anyone low-carbing
Garlic butter is best frozen, wrap tightly in ham & use cocktail sticks to keep in place, cook seam-side up on foil. Any juices that might escape can then be poured over.

YANBU- there is a fine art to cooking them. Turn the oven down and notch and cook for less times 5 minutes- check and cook for a bit longer. Enjoy I haven't had them in ages but they are a favourite. I have never made them myself even though I like cooking.

God I love chicken Kiev's!

@oooompa - what @handbagsatdawn33 said. Makes a great low carb meal - I grate cauliflower and mix with finely chopped almond flakes to make a crumb - delish and really low carb

My guilty please though is mini kievs & chips

@BurningGubbins that sounds like the best idea ever!!! Can't wait to try it out.

Yeah you're cooking them too long, there is a nack to it! As soon as I hear butter sizzling out, the kiev comes out

Costco chicken Kiev in the whole chicken breast (frozen) are sooooo good

Try Marks and Spencer Plant Based ones. You can't tell the difference and they are LUSH.

I second the Sainsburys recommendation, the whole chicken fillet ones not the cheap ones. They are amazing!

@oooompa We are low carbing as well so make them ourselves using a coating of ground almonds mixed with finely gated Parmesan and they are bloody lovely!

Sainsbury's - the whole fillet ones are my favourite.

The answer is to make your own.

Another for the sainsbos ones. Also when you take them out pour any leaked out garlic butter on top of them. Delightful.
