Well, let me tell you about this thing called air fryer chicken Kiev. You know, it’s a fancy name, but it’s really just a way to make chicken taste good without all that grease. Folks round here love their fried chicken, but this way is a bit healthier. Now, gather ’round, I’ll tell you how to do it.
What You Need:
- Some chicken breasts, nice and plump
- Butter, not that margarine stuff, real butter
- Garlic, if you like it strong, put in more
- Parsley, fresh is best, but dried will do
- Panko breadcrumbs, for that crispy outside
- Salt and pepper, to make it taste just right
- A little olive oil, for spraying
First things first, you gotta get that butter ready. Take a bowl, put in your butter, then add garlic and parsley. Mix it all up till it’s nice and smooth. You wanna make sure it’s real tasty, ’cause this is what’s gonna go inside the chicken.
Next, take your chicken breasts and cut a pocket in them. Not all the way through, mind you, just enough to stuff that buttery goodness in. Then, take that butter mix and fill each pocket. Don’t be shy, pack it in there good.
Now, you’ll want to roll up those chicken breasts like you’re rolling up a sleeping bag. Make sure the butter don’t leak out. Then, season the outside with salt and pepper. You can also dip the chicken in flour if you want, but that’s up to you.
After that, it’s time to coat them. Grab a plate and pour your panko breadcrumbs on it. Roll your chicken in those crumbs till they’re nice and covered. That’s what’s gonna give you that crunchy outside when they cook.
Now, get your air fryer ready. Preheat it to about 180 degrees Celsius, which is around 350 degrees Fahrenheit if you’re thinking in that fancy way. Spray the basket lightly with olive oil so it don’t stick.
Carefully place your chicken Kiev in the air fryer basket. Don’t overcrowd them, give them space to breathe and get crispy. Spray a little more olive oil on top of the chicken, just a light mist, you know.
Set your timer for about 15 to 20 minutes. Keep an eye on them, ’cause every air fryer is a bit different. You want them golden brown and cooked through. If you got a meat thermometer, aim for about 75 degrees Celsius inside, that’s when you know it’s done.
When they’re ready, let them rest for a few minutes before you cut into them. Otherwise, all that buttery filling might just spill out like a river. Nobody wants that mess.
How to Serve:
These chicken Kievs are lovely with a side of veggies or some mashed potatoes. You can even make a little salad to go with it. If you have leftovers, just pop them in the fridge. They warm up nicely, just don’t forget to reheat in the air fryer for that crispy goodness again.
So there you go, air fryer chicken Kiev! Simple, tasty, and you don’t need to worry about all that oil. Just give it a try, and I reckon you’ll be hooked!
