Steps:
- Thoroughly mix softened butter, chives, garlic, salt, and pepper. Lay butter on a piece of film so it looks like a hot dog, wrap it, and stick it into the fridge for about 30 minutes. Cut chicken thighs into about ¾"-1" chunks and pulse in processor until about the consistency of hamburger. Don't sweat the small stuff as anything close will work. Beat egg and sour cream until smooth and put on small plate. On another small plate lay down the ground pork rinds. Divide chicken thigh meat into 3 equal portions, make into fat ovals, and make a little well down the center. Cut chilled compound butter into three equal portions, roll in your palms to elongate it and put it into the well of chicken. Pick up chicken and carefully encase the butter into a chicken log. Roll each log in the egg wash and then into the pork rinds. Fry in ½" hot oil (I use whatever is in my larder at any given time) and fry until golden brown-about 3-4 minutes, turn and repeat. 3 Servings 552 Calories, 41.0g Protein, 42.6g Fat, 1.2g Carbs .1g Fiber 1.1g Net Carbs
Tips:
- To achieve the perfect golden-brown crust, make sure the chicken is properly coated in the egg wash and breadcrumb mixture.
- For a flavorful filling, use a combination of butter, herbs, and garlic.
- To prevent the butter from leaking out during baking, make sure the chicken breasts are tightly wrapped in the breadcrumb coating.

- Serve the chicken kiev immediately after baking, garnished with fresh herbs and lemon wedges.
