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!

With the power vested in me by these likes I ask, when will we see the Babish/Boris crossover episode.

Babish: * *uses fists to compress chicken* *

"You don't want to pound them too thin because they could form holes."
Some Slav Guy with Svetlana: Ha!

[admin-yoee]

I love the fact that almost all of the top comments are about the Life of Boris video

[maxwelltheluxray]

Babish: Uses utensils with grace
Boris: Uses a hammer and a Bowie knife

[TheRyderShotgunn]

this is probably the closest i'll ever get to babish trying out boris's imaginary cake

[blueshell]

Seeing how heavily the Boris and Babish audience overlap, I suggest a crossover.
The name?

Chicken Kiev is legit my favourite chicken dish. It's also a great way to judge an establishment that serves it, because you can tell if they decided to cheap out or save time on any of the steps.
