Chicken Kiev Balls
Report
Chicken Kiev Balls, a fantastic starter for every occasion. Tweaked from the classic chicken kiev recipe, these golden bites are made with chicken mince with a garlic and herb butter centre, coated in breadcrumbs, and fried until perfectly crispy on the outside, but oozing with delicious flavours on the inside. Quick, easy and so good!

Ingredients
- 500 g chicken mince (ground chicken)
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 ½ cup breadcrumbs
- 1 cup flour
- 2 eggs
- 50 g butter (soften)
- 2 tablespoon fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoon fresh dill
- 3 cloves of garlic (minced)
- oil for frying
Instructions
- To make the garlic herb butter, add the soften butter to a bowl together with the chopped parsley, dill and minced garlic.
- Mix well to get a paste.
- On a large piece of clingfilm, shape the butter into a long thin sausage, and cover it in clingfilm.
- Freeze it for at least 15 minutes, then slice the butter sausage.
- Take one or 2 tablespoons of mince at a time, shape it into a patty, add a slice of butter in the middle, then close it well to shape into a meatball.
- Add the flour to a bowl, the breadcrumbs to another bowl, and crack the eggs into a third bowl, beating them well.
- Coat the ball with flour, shaking off any excess, dip it into the beaten egg, then coat with breadcrumbs.
- Repeat the process with the remaining mince.
- In a deep frying pan set over a medium heat, heat up enough oil for the meatballs to be covered completely, then carefully dip 3-4 meatballs ( or more depending on the size of your pan) at a time to fry until golden.
- Transfer the balls onto a plate lined with kitchen paper to soak up the excess oil.
Notes
- Make sure the chicken balls are deep fried over a medium heat - if the heat is too high, they might brown too quickly, while the middle is still raw.
- After you coat the balls in breadcrumbs, set them aside for 5 minutes so they can dry a little bit - that makes a good seal for the butter not to ooze out during frying.
