Air Fryer FrozenChicken Kiev

I always remember growing up thesmell of a recently cooked chicken kiev. It smelt absolutely delicious with themixture of garlic butter, breadcrumbs and chicken. It was like food heaven.Back in the 90’s this was the normal dinner that a kid would expect when theycame home from school.

Right now, they still sell themin the local supermarkets with many different brands doing their take on thetraditional chicken kiev.

But with thebirth of the Air Fryer they can taste much better because unlike the oven, theair fryer will crisp them to perfection.

Or alternative you can make your own homemade chicken kiev, Today I will be sharing with you both homemade and frozen chicken kievs.

For the healthier way to enjoychicken kiev is to cook it from scratch. A quick ten minutes or so of preparationand you have an amazing Air Fryer Chicken dish waiting for the kids when theycome home from school.

Chicken Kiev And Chips

For me, chicken kiev wouldn’t be the same unless it was served as chicken kiev and chips. The great thing is, that you can use frozen French fries and cook them in your air fryer, just like you cooked your frozen chicken kiev in there. If you have a standard air fryer I recommend my Frozen Air Fryer Fries, or for the oven user our Air Fryer Oven Frozen French Fries.
