Description: Mini Chicken Kiev Balls are bite-sized versions of the classic Chicken Kiev. These savory balls are filled with garlic butter and herbs, creating a burst of flavor with every bite. They make for a delightful appetizer or a fun addition to your party platter.

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced (for the garlic butter)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for the garlic butter)
  • Oil for frying

Instructions:

  1. Prepare Garlic Butter:
    • In a small bowl, mix together the softened butter, minced garlic, and chopped parsley. Set aside.
  2. Make Chicken Mixture:
    • In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, breadcrumbs, minced garlic, chopped parsley, dried thyme, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
  3. Form Balls:
    • Take a small portion of the chicken mixture and flatten it in your hand. Place a small amount of the garlic butter in the center and enclose the butter with the chicken mixture, forming a ball. Repeat until all the mixture is used.
