Binging with Babish: Chicken Kiev from Mad Men

Chicken Kiev, despite its geographically-specific name, is a dish of dubious origins. It’s no surprise, however, that it became an American darling in the mid-20th century: after all, it is deep-fried and stuffed with butter. Will this exercise in excess be worth the effort, not to mention the calories? Probably, yeah!

sourcedo you like chicken

That's because of the time period it's from, I think. He had another Mad Men episode, which also heavily featured butter.
