CHEF JOHN'S CHICKEN KIEV
I'm not going to say this chicken Kiev is 'easy to make.' It's really not. So, why try? Because, if and when you pull this off, you'll be enjoying one of the greatest chicken experiences of your life. It's also one of the greatest garlic experiences of your life, as well as one of the greatest butter experiences of your life.

Steps:
- Grind garlic and a pinch of salt together in a mortar and pestle until garlic is completely smashed. Add parsley and mix until completely incorporated. Pound butter into garlic mixture with pestle until parsley and garlic are fully incorporated into the butter. Wrap the butter mixture in plastic wrap and refrigerate until cold, at least 15 minutes.
- Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Place 1/4 the butter mixture in the center of wider end of each chicken breast. Fold the narrower end of each chicken breast up over the butter to form a tight pocket around the butter. Gather the sides of each chicken breast to the center to form a round ball. The top of the chicken will be smooth and the bottom will be gathered. Tightly wrap each chicken breast ball in plastic wrap, put wrapped breasts on a plate, and chill in the freezer until the gathered bottoms hold together and are slightly firm, about 30 minutes.
- Whisk flour and 2 teaspoons salt together in a shallow bowl. Whisk eggs together in another shallow bowl. Pour panko bread crumbs into another bowl.
- Remove chicken breast balls from plastic wrap. Gently press each chicken breast ball into flour mixture to coat and shake off any excess flour. Dip into beaten eggs, then press into bread crumbs. Place breaded chicken onto a plate, cover with plastic wrap, and return to the freezer to chill until firm, about 15 minutes.
- Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
- Working in batches, cook chicken, gathered-side down, in hot oil and until lightly golden on both sides, about 1 minute per side. Transfer to prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle salt and cayenne pepper over the top.
- Bake in the preheated oven until you can hear the butter start to sizzle on the baking sheet, 15 to 17 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

- Place chicken breasts, one at a time, between two pieces of plastic wrap. Sprinkle chicken lightly with water and squirt the top of the plastic wrap as well. Pound to no less than 1/8-inch thickness. Season each piece of chicken with salt and pepper.
- Lay one chicken breast on a new piece of plastic wrap and place 1/4 of the compound butter in the center of each breast.

Place chicken in refrigerator for 2 hours, or up to overnight.
- Place egg and water mixture in one pie pan and 2 cups bread crumbs in a different pie pan.

Steps:
- Combine 1/3 cup butter, 1/2 teaspoon pepper and 1 teaspoon garlic powder. On a 6x6 inch piece of aluminum foil, spread mixture to about 2x3 inches. Place this mixture in the coldest section of your freezer and freeze until firm. This can be done ahead of time.
- Remove all fat from the chicken breast. If using whole chicken breasts, cut them in half. Place each chicken breast half between 2 pieces of waxed paper and using a mallet, pound carefully to about 1/4 inch thickness or less.
- When butter mixture is firm, remove from freezer and cut into 6 equal pieces. Place one piece of butter on each chicken breast. Fold in edges of chicken and then roll to encase the butter completely. Secure the chicken roll with small skewers or toothpicks.
- In a mixing bowl, beat eggs with water until fluffy. In a separate bowl, mix together 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, dill weed and flour. Coat the chicken well with the seasoned flour. Dip the floured chicken in the egg mixture and then roll in the bread crumbs. Place coated chicken on a shallow tray and chill in refrigerator for 30 minutes.
- In a medium size deep frying pan, heat vegetable oil to medium-high. Fry chicken for about 5 minutes then turn over and fry for 5 minutes longer or until the chicken is golden brown. To test for doneness, cut into one of the rolled chicken breasts to make sure it doesn't have a pink interior. Serve immediately, garnished with a sliced lemon twist and a sprinkling or parsley.

Steps:
- For the filling, mix the butter, cheese and oil in a small bowl, then stir in the garlic and parsley. Season with a pinch of cayenne and salt , and generously with black pepper. Cover with cling film and chill in the freezer for 30 mins while you prepare the chicken.
- Mix together the panko crumbs and flour. Heat a large, non-stick frying pan, tip in the crumb mix and toast in the dry pan for a few minutes or until turning pale brown - stir regularly so they brown evenly and don't burn. Tip the crumb mix into a bowl, season with pepper and set aside.
- Butterfly each chicken breast without cutting all the way through, so you can then open them out flat, being careful not to make any other cuts in the flesh that the filling could escape from. Lay each breast between two pieces of cling film and bash with a rolling pin to a thickness of about 5mm. Peel off and discard the top piece of cling film and season each breast with pepper. Place a quarter of the filling in the middle, then bring both the shorter ends of the chicken in slightly so they cover each side of the filling. Now bring a long side up and carry on rolling up to make a tight package - use the cling film to help , and keep the ends tucked in as you go. Wrap each kiev tightly in the cling film and chill in the fridge for about 30 mins (or overnight if you prefer).
- Heat oven to 230C/210C fan/gas 8. Tip half the crumb mix onto a large plate. Put the buttermilk in a shallow dish and season with pepper. Remove the cling film from two of the kievs, coat each in the buttermilk, then roll in the crumbs to evenly coat all over. Pat them on the ends too, to coat and keep well sealed. Repeat with the remaining two kievs.
- Heat 11/2 tsp of the oil in a small nonstick frying pan. Add two of the kievs and fry for 1½ mins over a medium-high heat, without moving them, adjusting the heat if necessary so they don't burn. Turn them over, pour in another ½ tsp oil to cover the base of the pan and fry for 1 min more to brown the other side, carefully turning so all sides are becoming golden. Remove with a wide spatula and lay in a shallow baking tin lined with baking parchment. Wipe any crumbs from the pan, then repeat with the rest of the oil and chicken.
- Bake the chicken in the oven for 15 mins until cooked and crisp. Serve with lemon wedges and watercress. If any juices have managed to escape during cooking, simply drizzle them around the chicken once served.
