Chicken Kiev “Poppers”

Chicken Kiev “Poppers”

Some folk go out on a Saturday night, have a meal in a restaurant and the few pints. Followed by a kebab to walk home with. Us? We made this unholy union of East meets West! OK it's perhaps not quite as unhealthy as the kebab, but we'll fry them in Lard next time!
 
Joking aside these mini Chicken Kievs in Onion Bhaji batter were really tasty and well worth the fiddling about.
 
Ingredients:-
 
½ a small Chicken boned out and cut into medium sized pieces
Garlic Butter. (Butter / Margarine, minced Garlic and dried Parsley)
Onion Bhaji mix – Recipe here
Flour (We used a combination of Gluten Free flour and Arrowroot)
 
Method:-
 
(1) Make your Onion Bhaji mix. (We also made and pre-fried the Bhajis. Our recipe is here)
(2) Make your Garlic Butter and put it in the freezer to harden for ½ an hour or longer if you have the time.
(3) With a boning knife remove every last scrap of meat from ½ a Chicken and remove the skin. Cut the breast meat into medium pieces.
(4) Wrap each piece of Chicken meat in cling film and beat out with a rolling pin.
(5) When the Garlic Butter has hardened put a teaspoon in the middle of each piece of Chicken meat and then press and roll the meat around the butter with your hands.
(6) Flour each piece so the batter has more chance of sticking.
(7) Heat your deep fat fryer to 190C. (You could also roast these in the oven at 180C to avoid the oil.)
(8) If you are frying pre-heat the oven to 150C
(9) Fry 3 or 4 pieces at a time until golden brown. The batter expands quite a bit so don't worry if some of your “Poppers” look a little small initially. Place in the oven to keep hot as you fry the remaining “Poppers”.
 
We served ours with home made Onion Bhajis, a salsa style dipping sauce, Potato fritters and a dressed salad.

Saturday Night Fake-Away

Obviously we can’t get a takeaway and to be fair we wouldn’t if we could. So we thought we’d have a pop at the old chippy favourite – Battered Sausages. Actually we had far too much batter so we battered our chips as well!

Ingredients for the batter:-

Rice Flour
Corn Flour
Plain Flour (Gluten free in our case)
Gram Flour
Turmeric
Salt
2 Eggs for Egg wash

Method:-

(1) Beat your Eggs in a bowl for the Egg wash.
(2) Add plain Flour to a bowl.
(3) Mix the other ingredients with enough water to make a stiff batter.
(4) Cook and cool your Sausages in the oven.
(5) Heat the fryer to 180c.
(6) Roll the sausage in flour, Egg wash and Flour again.
(7) Dunk in the Batter trying to cover evenly and fry a couple at a time until golden brown.

Perhaps not the most elegant dish we’ve ever cooked. But tasty! Lots of Salt, Vinegar, Totam & Brown Sauce - Sorted!
