What part of a chicken is a ready-made frozen Chicken Kiev made of? Traditionally, they were made from a chicken breast with a knobble of wing bone still attached, I believe?

Thank you for your question about frozen food. Well you are correct, they are made from chicken breast and do contain butter, garlic and herbs. Frozen Chicken Kievs are one of the most favourite frozen foods in our supermarkets. Frozen Chicken Kievs also use other parts of the chicken in the manufacturing process apart from chicken breast.

I have come across the breast with wing bone on but due to cost pressures the bulk of frozen kiev’s sold are reformed rather than made from whole breast.

I hope this helps – click here if you want to see inside the frozen food manufacturing process.
