Thanks OP - And without wanting to seem ungrateful & out of sincere and genuine interest - are these made from 100% Chicken or a blend of Chicken/Soya/TVP/Water and moulded into a Chicken Kiev shape for retail like some products in this field?

This was in BA a couple of weeks ago, must still be running.

They're tasty enough to be fair. Honestly; within reason I don't give a **** how they're made - they've fed me on many occasions and I'm still alive. I'm also not naive enough to not know how chicken of the type in this product is reared and processed. I'd just rather not think about it too much, thank you very much.

Don't look a gift chicken in the beak

They are definitely processed chicken, certainly not a real breast just sliced, but I cannot remember if there is soya or other stuff in that mix, or if it is just 100% liquidised beaks, skin & claws

Also 20% more sauce really means less chicken.

Form CombatCow's link:

45% Chicken - Which in my opinion is most definitely unlikely to be juicy succulent Chicken Breast and more likely reconstituted meat also known as meat slurry - Wiki page here

The other 55% is made up of some unknown combination of the below:

Water, margarine, mixed carotenes, wheat flour, yeast, dextrose, vegetable oil, salt, paprika extract, turmeric extract, vegetable oil, pea starch, garlic puree, parsley, pea fibre, dextrose, black pepper, concentrated lemon juice, skimmed milk powder, garlic extract, rosemary extract.

Again in my opinion, products such as these are an attractive way for Chicken processors to reduce their rubbish costs by getting the Public at large to pay good money to eat their food production process waste materials instead of binning them.....

Yeah - In fairness any Parent who, in the full knowledge of what they actually are, feeds a Child Chicken Nuggets should be carefully assessed by Social Services :eek:

You can buy an oven-ready Chicken now for the same money; Preheat Oven to its top temp, while its heating cut a lemon in halves and wrap it in a bit of fresh rosemary or thyme or similar and stuff it in the cavity, fire a bit olive oil, salt and pepper on top and then fire it into the oven turn the temp back to 190 and then roast until its done.

- You'll get a perfect dinner with minimal effort and then lots of Kids lunches and sandwiches, chicken salads etc. too until its all used up.....

ah its not working for me!!!!!:mad:

Kinda getting off the point of a bargain alert, but chicken skin,fat,and connective tissue is allowed to be counted as "meat", So I would imagine the actual "chicken meat" content of the kiev is more like 20-25%

There's a funny/informative documentary about meat content of various food on youtube. Britain's Really Disgusting Food ,part 3 is the chicken kiev....

While I appreciate people taking time to write online reviews for hotels, tvs, films, games, and even food products, this review is a little over stretched and detailed, no?

I found these nestling in the chilled section of my nearest Somerfield inside of a clear plastic tray with a largely black card band around the centre, that shows an image of a portion of chicken kiev on a plate. The rear of the black band contains nutritional and allergy information, ingredients list, cooking instructions, and a warning that though all effort has been made to remove bones, some small ones may remain.

One thing which struck me as being very odd, was that Moy Park Chicken Kiev is sold unfrozen, and it clearly states on the packet that the product is suitable for home freezing - then it warns that the product shouldn't be frozen if it's thawed when you buy it. It is possible that these are delivered fresh on a daily basis to supermarkets, but I'd consider it highly likely they are stored in deep freeze at the manufacturer's premises in the first place. If someone out there happens to have knowledge of whether this is the case or not, I'd love to know - thanks!

I love chicken kiev, and my favourites by far up above all the others, are M&S, or Tesco's luxury brand. My coffers these days won't stretch to buying the better quality chicken kiev except on a once in a blue moon basis, so I satisfy my sometimes urgent need for a nice piece of garlicky, buttery goo oozing from a piece of chicken, with the more down-market brands. Some of these are better than others, so I recently decided to, for the first time (and because of the BOGOF) try the Moy Park brand.

On opening one of the packs (and taking the risk of freezing the other), two pieces of chicken covered in orange-ish golden breadcrumbs were nestling in the plastic tray. The tops of the chicken pieces were a little raised, and I hoped that this indicated a generous portion of garlic butter inside. As I lifted out the chicken portions and placed onto a baking tray (being the greedy pig that I am, I must have 2 portions to satisfy my gargantuan epicurean yearnings) I noticed that they felt a little floppy and pappy. I hoped that this would resolve itself during the cooking process.

While they were in the oven, the chicken pieces gave off a beautiful and quite strong aroma of garlic and butter. My mouth began to water, but I didn't raise my hopes too high, as I just love the smell of garlic butter cooking - yet sometimes can find the finished product to be a bit of an anti-climax. Meanwhile, I prepared a mixed green salad, and whizzed a jacket potato in the microwave.

On removing the baking tray from the oven, I was pleased to see the chicken pieces hadn't shrunk, and the breadcrumbs had darkened slightly. All of the floppy/pappy feeling had gone too, and each portion was nice and firm. There was quite a lot of garlic butter seepage, which I saw as a good sign as it meant that at least the chicken portions contained a reasonable amount of filling (some cheaper brands, of which Moy Park is, often are very stingy with the garlic butter). I heaved the chicken portions onto my plate next to the jacket potato and salad, poured all the garlic butter from the cooking tray over the chicken, then lazed back on the sofa with tray on lap, and cut into one of the kievs.

The chicken seemed nice and tender as I sliced a piece off, and I was pleased to notice that there - in addition to the seepage - was still a generous amount of garlic/parsley butter inside. On tasting, I discovered that it was real breast of chicken, and not the re-constituted stuff. The breadcrumbs were nice - light and crispy - and I was thoroughly enjoying this first mouthful.

As I continued to eat, I was walking up that stairway to culinary heaven. The kievs had a very strong garlic flavour, and that lovely seepage of filling which I'd poured over the surface of them was partially absorbed by the breadcrumbs, and the rest was drifting across my plate to give the potato and the salad extra flavour. Because the chicken was so nice, I left what remained until last on my plate, scoffing the potato and salad first - I always like to leave the best bit until the end. The rest of the chicken kiev was in due course eaten, savoured with relish and thoroughly enjoyed.

I was so pleased that I'd taken advantage of the BOGOF in Somerfield, because it meant that I could have and truly enjoy another meal of chicken kiev before my next trip there.

Though Moy Park Chicken Kiev is of inferior quality to the luxury brands such as M&S and Tesco's posh version, it is hands down better quality than most, if not all of the cheaper brands and I certainly shall be buying it again. The only problem I suppose is that each piece is rather high in fat and calories, but then it is chicken kiev, and one can't expect something which positively oozes butter, to be healthy or low in calories. I don't think it's any higher in these naughties than other brands though. Another point which is worthy of note, is that glancing through the ingredients list, it contains no nasties such as "E" additives. One or two of the ingredients seem a little peculiar for chicken kiev, but harmless all the same (such as pea starch and pea fibre).

Overall verdict: Very, very reasonably priced, good quality chicken, lovely crispy breadcrumbs that aren't crunchy or hard, with a very generous serving of garlic butter in each piece and no dodgy additives. I'd say it's still well worth the money, even without the BOGOF.

Well done Moy Park. If you can do it, why can't the others?

Thanks for reading!

I'm surprised he didn't include photos of the 'unboxing' like you see on the Tech Sites for new Gadgets - Example

So hungry now, Maccy D's for lunch.

Maybe it's just me but after watching Supersize Me I got a McDonalds, and after watching that "Britains Really Disgusting Food" show I had a real crazing for 9% Chicken Kievs.
