Saints & Sinners Kievs

This was submitted for the July Recipe competition as it's August it should be safe to post.

Preliminary work. Make a compound butter, mine was coriander & garlic. Then make a small bacon weave, mine was a 3x3 with half rashers of streaky, and or soak the corn husks if using for 20 minutes. Skin & bone chicken thighs, preheat smoker to 250f

First flatten the boned skinless thigh between clingfilm

Then spread with compound butter.

Image

Roll tightly in the clingfilm to make a dumpy sausage shape.

Image

Refrigerate for at least 4 hours to ensure the butter sets properly.

Remove the clingfilm, then wrap in the bacon or in the corn husks. I sealed the corn husks with a couple of staples placed away from the meat but keeping the wrap tight or you could use "butchers string and a surgeon's knot ;) . The corn husk keeps everything together but still lets the smoke flavour in.

Place on the smoker for 35-45 minutes depending on the size of the thighs, then serve and enjoy.

You could also vary the filling, adding slices of ham or cheese. The corn husks were also used to make a slimmy, i.e. a fatty without the bacon but I didn't get any pictures of that.

Kieth thanks for posting this, I always wondered about doing some sort of stuffed chicken on the BBQ especially Kiev. I take it this will work equally well with breasts :lol: :lol: :lol: .

Will definitely be experimenting with this soon.

To be honest I've not tried this technique with breasts as the roll size gets quite large. I've done the roll with chicken breasts then crumbed and fried them, finishing them off in the oven but not on a BBQ.
