Chicken Kiev cutlet on bone


The original chicken Kiev - the international name of Chicken Kiev - is nothing more than a delicious restaurant masterpiece. Such a chicken fillet cutlet on the bone is being prepared. The fillet is tender and juicy, and the breading is light brown and crispy. But one should not think that it is impossible to create this miracle of cooking art at home. You will succeed if you follow our step-by-step advice exactly.

Ingredients:

  • Uncut chicken carcass - 1 pc.
  • Butter - 50-70 gr.
  • Fresh herbs (parsley, dill) - 50 gr.
  • Bread crumbs - 4-5 tablespoons
  • Chicken egg - 2-3 pcs.
  • Flour - 3-4 tablespoons
  • Chicken spices - to taste.
  • Ground black pepper to taste.
  • Salt to taste.

Cooking process:

  1. We cut the chicken carcass - for cutlets we only need a fillet with a bone left over from the wing. First, place the washed and dried chicken on a cutting board on the back.
  2. Now we cut the carcass with a sharp knife in the middle of the breast along the keel bone on both sides. The breast should be divided into 2 parts.
  3. Let's remove the spine and shins. We should have 2 pieces of chicken breast with wings left.
  4. First, we will work with one part of the breast. Cut the chicken fillet along the keel bone along with the wing.
  5. Separate the small chicken fillet from the large one. The small fillet is inside the large one and also adjoins the bone. When you start to open up the breast and remove the bones, you will immediately see it. The small fillets are separated very easily. Cut it off and set it aside.
  6. Now let's deal with the chicken wing. We leave the shoulder, which is firmly connected by the bone with the large fillet, and cut off the 2 extreme wing phalanges and put them aside - they will not be needed. We also cut off the meat from the shoulder: we should have a bare bone from the wing, connected to the fillet.
  7. Flatten the large fillet remaining on the bone. The thick part can be cut with a pocket, but not cut off from the bone. Put the leveled fillet together with the bone in a plastic bag and lightly beat it off with the flat side of a kitchen hammer or a wooden rolling pin. The fillet should flatten slightly and become softer, but not tear, but acquire the desired oval shape. Be careful not to damage the bone when hitting.
  8. Now do all the same operations with the second part of the chicken breast. You should have 2 bare bones chicken fillets. Cut off the hard joints from the ends of the bones.
  9. Season the fillets with salt, pepper and sprinkle with chicken spices to taste.
  10. Put butter and herbs in the fillet. To do this, cut the frozen butter into 2 rectangular pieces (about the size of a woman's little finger), each of which is thoroughly rolled in finely chopped greens.
  11. In the middle of each beaten fillet, place 1 piece of butter in greens.
  12. We fold the cutlets into an oval.
  13. Now carefully brew the bone-in patties in a breading of flour, beaten eggs and finely ground bread crumbs. You can make a double breading (repeat the whole process of breading 2 times) so that the patties are strong, in a beautiful dense breading and do not fall apart during frying. You do not need to bread the bone.
  14. Now in a large deep frying pan or in a saucepan, heat a sufficient amount of vegetable oil (about 500-600 gr.) And fry two cutlets at once until a beautiful ocher-brown crust. The patties should float in boiling oil and brown. Remember to turn the patties over for an even browning. The entire browning process will take approximately 10 minutes.
  15. Put the ready-made Kiev cutlets on a paper towel to remove excess oil, and then transfer them to a preheated dish: these cutlets are eaten only hot.
  16. Serve boneless Kiev cutlets with fresh herbs. Also, 2-3 lemon slices will not be superfluous. For beauty and full compliance with restaurant traditions, decorate the chicken bone with a culinary papillote.

Bon Appetit!

Advice: breaded Kiev cutlets can be placed in an airtight container (container or bag) and sent to the freezer if you are not going to fry them right away. When deep-frozen, cutlets can be stored as a semi-finished product for up to one month.
