Recipe video above. The trick to ensuring the melted butter stays firmly sealed inside Chicken Kiev? Partially freezing the chicken. Stops the chicken from moving as you handle it for coating / cooking which ensures the chicken remains sealed and keeps the molten river of garlic butter inside!For a real Kiev experience, you do need to deep fry. BUT for the very best healthier baked option, see Note 6.
