Chicken breast wrapped around cold herb butter, coated in golden breadcrumbs and fried until the crust is crispy and the butter bursts out in a river of garlic and parsley.

Method

Mix butter with garlic and parsley. Shape into a log. Freeze 30 minutes.

Butterfly each chicken breast. Place frozen butter in centre. Fold and seal tightly.

Coat in flour, then egg, then breadcrumbs. Refrigerate 1 hour.

Deep-fry at 170°C for 12-15 minutes until golden and cooked through.

Rest 2 minutes. Warn guests to cut carefully — the butter jets out.

Chef's Tip

The butter must be frozen solid before wrapping — liquid butter leaks during coating.
