Made a few of these lil bad boys this evening.

It's fried chicken stuffed with garlic&herb butter, the Chicken Kiev.

For the compound butter, you'll need:

1 tsp of your favorite herbs
1 tsp of sea salt
120g of unsalted butter
1 dash of black pepper and chilli flakes if you like things spicy

Mix it all well and roll it up in wax paper and pop in back into the refrigerator. It makes a good garlic bread spread too.

Pound 4 chicken breast fillets and cut the compound butter into 4 pieces.
Wrap each butter with the fillet and try to make it tight, using toothpicks to hold the meat in position.
Wrap the meat with cling wrap and put them in the fridge for an hour.

When an hour has passed, unwrap your chicken, cover it with corn flour first, then, eggs and finally bread crumbs.

Boil your vegetable oil.
When you throw some breadcrumbs in and it sizzles, you're ready to start frying.
Depending on the thickness of the chicken meat, fry each side for about 5-10 minutes until golden brown.
