Kievs - How to cook??

[Turkish Delight]

Another dumb question by a wog

I bought some Chicken Kievs and don't know how to cook them as i've never purchased them before.

Please help me cook them? How do i??

So you've bought them already made up? If so, you can:
shallow fry for 10min each side
oven bake for 30-35 min on 180 degrees (my preferred way) (brush with oil or butter before baking).
bbq them for 30-35 min.

Definatly in the oven!

i cook them on a low heat on the stove in oil and butter.
i cant stress enough LOW heat.. oterwise the middle doesnt cook

[briggsy's girl]

we oven bake them - just sit them on a tray and let them go. depending on how efficient your oven is, it may take more or less than the 35 mins - our oven is crap, so we tend to leave them longer. we dont' brush with anything - a lot of the butter melts out into the tray so we kinda glaze with that.

mmmmm kievs - wonder if i should get some out of the freezer for tomorrow... hmmmm

[Turkish Delight]

should i put them on an oven tray lined with baking paper?

what do you make with them as a side dish?

[feeb]

I do line with baking paper as i do for most things as stops sticking.

I generally do rice or pasta in sauce and vegies with them. Baked potato goes well also

[briggsy's girl]

we tend do do baked veg.

lining the tray is a good idea - stops sticking and means you can collect the butter for glazing better.
deep tray is a good idea so you don't spill the butter as you take out of oven

[Muffy]

I do scalloped potatoes and steamed vegies or some packet pasta and vegies

Yum! On my butcher's recent advice I've actually started cooking them upside down in the oven - stops all the butter running out during cooking. It doesn't tend to ruin the way they look either.

[Visitor7]

steamed vegies are nice with it, or those continental pasta with vegies are good too.

I guess we are all having kievs in the next few days

Sorry to all the preg ladies, if its made you crave/want kievs now!

I've never even eaten them, so i don't know what they taste like.

Chicken Kiev is one of my favorites. I line the baking tray with baking paper or tin foil. Smear a little oil where the kiev's will be placed (not loads, cos of the butter). Cook in oven at 180 for 20min upside down, then turn and cook another 15 minutes. (cut one to check they're done properly right through) Serve on plates and pour the hot butter from the tray over the kievs. Serve with steamed vegies or salad. I like the idea of scalloped potatoes yum!

The best bit about them is the crispy crust and the garlic butter over everything.

I've eaten but never made scalloped potatoes. So i googled it and got the recipe. I just went out and bought some cream for it.

What do you guys mean by upside down? they are ovalish in shape, so were is it upside down?

Friday night's meal will be kievs, scalloped potatoes and salad.

I love Kiev's, it one I can prepare in advance. I put them in an oven tray ontop of grease proof paper, with cut up vegies, potatoes, tomatoes (topped with dried herbs), carrot, pumpkin and in the last 15mins of cooking throw in some broccoli into the tray.
If you buy them fresh from the butcher, usally 45mins and that includes everything above cooked with it. I cut the potatoes up small.
I don't worry about turning them, the juice fromt the kievs tends to run out a little all over the vegies....yummy!
Have a look at the taste website as they have great recipes and easy to follow...scalloped potatoes are one of my absolute favourite ways of doing potatoes, I use a recipe from my Cookery the Australian Way.
