Hot Honey Butter Chicken Kiev

The classic comfort food, with a sweet heat twist! Save some of that hot honey butter.. you’ll be spreading it on EVERYTHING!

Recipe: Serves 4

Ingredients:

For the filling:

  • 100g unsalted butter, softened

  • 1½ tbsp WilderBee Original Hot Honey

  • 1 garlic clove, finely grated

  • Small handful of fresh parsley or chives, finely chopped

  • Pinch of salt

For the chicken:

  • 4 skinless chicken breasts

  • 100g plain flour

  • 2 eggs, beaten

  • 100g panko breadcrumbs

  • Salt and pepper

  • Neutral oil for frying or spraying

To finish:

  • Extra drizzle of WilderBee Original Hot Honey

  • Fresh herbs or lemon wedges (optional)

Method:

  1. Make the butter: Mix the softened butter with hot honey, garlic, chopped herbs, and a pinch of salt. Roll into a small log using cling film and freeze for 20–30 minutes until firm.

  2. Prepare the chicken: Slice a deep pocket into the side of each chicken breast (don’t cut all the way through). Stuff with a chunk of the chilled honey butter and seal tightly with cocktail sticks if needed.

  3. Bread the chicken: Season the flour, then dip each stuffed breast into flour, then beaten egg, then panko breadcrumbs. Press firmly to coat.

  4. Cook:

    • Oven method: Preheat to 200°C (fan). Drizzle or spray chicken with oil and bake for 25–30 mins until golden and cooked through.

    • Air fryer method: Preheat to 190°C. Air fry for 18–20 mins, turning halfway, until golden and crisp.

    Serve hot with an extra drizzle of WilderBee Hot Honey over the top for that glossy, spicy finish!
