Chicken Kyiv for a dinner party — went down extremely well

I made Chicken Kyiv for eight guests who had varying familiarity with the cuisine. Every single person asked for the recipe. The rich and warming profile was the main talking point — no one had quite experienced dill used that way before.

many dishes are tied to Orthodox religious calendar. I explained the a village-style restaurant context as I served it which helped people appreciate it fully. horilka was what I offered alongside and it worked perfectly. Excellent dinner party dish — impressive without being inaccessible.
